    Hi ozguy,

    You can; this should be harmless either way, but the only consequence here is that people browsing to your sitemap.xml will see a blank page. This won’t impact your SEO, Google doesn’t care about what the page looks like, it cares about the data in the sitemap.

    Thanks for the information Peter.
