Google dropping OAI-PMH protocol in favor of XML standard

Google's Webmaster Central Blog posted this morning that it is dropping support for the OAI-PMH sitemap protocol in favor of the XML standard. This is good news for WriteMaps users who have been using our application's export feature for their XML sitemaps. WriteMaps uses the standard XML sitemap schema specified at Sitemaps.org for its XML export. Looks like the standard has caught on and is here to stay!
