Commandline XML Schema validation of Google Sitemap file

Problem

Having manually created a Google Sitemap file, how do I validate it against Google's XML Schema?

Solution

1. Install XMLStarlet. (Or type xml to check if it's already installed)
2. Type:

xml val -e --xsd http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/sitemap.xsd sitemap.xml
sitemap.xml - valid

Google Sitemaps (BETA) Help offers link to W3C XML Schema Tools but I don't see an easy commandline solution.

I remember XMLStarlet: a command line toolkit.
