If you have activated the automatic Sitemap in X5, is also a xml file is created on the server.
The html file is for the call in the website itself.

Still does not work.
Attached is a snip of the response from google
Wrong settings on Google.
Test self:
http://your-domain.com/sitemap.xml
Google one does not need!
I agree, your sitemap is correct
http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/index.php?op=validate-xml-sitemap&go=1&sitemapurl=http://eye-catcher.com.au/sitemap.xml&submit=Validate
What should I therewith?
This was not the question.
Example of problems (similar to yours)
How did you registred your site on google?
Quoting Google:
If you're having problems submitting a Sitemap, make sure that the URLs in your Sitemap include the URL of your site exactly as it appears in your Webmaster Tools account. For example, if you have added the site http://www.example.com to Webmaster Tools, don't list URLs in this format: http://example.com/home.html Instead, use http://www.example.com/home.html
And nevertheless:
Web master tools are good only for the statistics for Google, but help nothing.
Google store user data, some users do not want this.
google account delete, problem removes!
If he has set the link in webmaster tool correctly, Google also finds the sitemap.
I agree with your thoughts... but there are people that still think it helps ;)
It will be absent html confirmation site which must be on the server.
