 * Hi from Germany,
 * i wonder why I get a “not well-formed” Error on my page. Both, the xml sitemap
   and the news sitemap are not displayed. Any idea where to check?

 * I’ve never seen that happen. No idea where this might be going wrong. The only
   advise I can give is to check the server/hosting/WP_DEBUG error log for related
   messages.
 * Or you could try switching off all other plugins and maybe even go to the default
   theme to see if that solves the issue.
 * Sorry.

 * Disabled all plugins except yours, but still the same error. The Error log is
   empty.
 * Tried another xml-sitemap plugin, that worked like a charm. So I truly believe
   that there must be aproblem within your plugin.

 * Yes, I don’t deny the problem might well be with my plugin but it’s impossible
   for me to say where it comes from or even what is happening without knowing more.
   Or at least a way to reproduce the issue so I can look at it closer… What theme
   are you using? What platform or hosting package?
