From a hosters view domains with umlauts in it are fu**ing shit. For a german site umlauts are pure gold.
There are a few problems with umlauts in XML-Sitemaps:
* cronjobs dont work
* umlauts in Text should be escaped
* in Webfront i have to escape the domain name myself.
* your free service don't work with umlaut-domain.
Living sample domian:
* http://tänzerhemd.de
* in generator:
** Starting Url: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
** Sitemap Url: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
Cronjob take from webfront:
<h4>An error occured: </h4>
