Expectations and evidence
- Required inputs (protocol identifiers)
- sitemap
- When it applies
- Declared sitemap files and indexes.
- How to check
- Check uncompressed size, URL count, sitemap indexes and encoding.
- Expectation
- Encoding and syntax are valid; uncompressed size and entry-count limits are met for each file type.
- Evidence to retain
- No more than 50,000 URLs and 50 MB uncompressed per sitemap.
- Non-applicability
- No sitemap used in scope.
- Limitations
- A valid file can still cover the wrong editorial scope.
- Outcome clarification
- C requires all expectations across the declared scope. NC requires evidenced contradiction; otherwise NT. NA requires evidence of non-applicability.
- Reference scope
- Technical reference; the TSEP acceptance rule remains an editorial proposal.
