Web Governance supports the following sitemaps for the initial domain URL:

*   `application/xml`
    
*   `application/x-xml`
    
*   `text/xml`
    
*   `application/atom+xml`
    
*   `application/rss+xml`
    
*   `text/rss`
    
*   `application/rdf+xml`
    
*   `text/plain`
    
*   `application/gzip`
    
*   `application/gzip-compressed`
    
*   `application/gzipped`
    
*   `application/x-gzip`
    
*   `application/x-gzip-compressed`
    
*   `application/x-gunzip`
    
*   `gzip/document`
    

These content types are supported by the sitemap parser used by the Web Governance crawler when sitemaps are detected also in a robots file.
