 * Hi! Recently, all my sites in Google News (validated) have a X red on the Google
   News Sitemap.
 * I ask and the problem is the validation code inside the XML header.
 * Please check:
    [http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9/sitemap-news.xsd](http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9/sitemap-news.xsd)
 * An example of the correct News Sitemap:
 * [http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9/sitemap-news.xsd](http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9/sitemap-news.xsd)
