Google multilingual sitemap issue - namespaces

I have a sitemap issue.
I am working on a multilingual website and I'm trying to use the Google method to indicate alternate language pages, as it is described here : https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2620865?hl=en.
You can see my sitemap here : http://preprod.fabric-a.fr/princesse-nomade/sitemap.xml
It seems that this sitemap is broken, and I don't understand why, it respects the example given by google..
Curiously, when I replace xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" by "xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml:link", it seems to appear not broken.
But it is clearly incorrect.
I'm lost, some sitemap testers are telling me that it is correct. Others are telling me that the <priority> and <changefreq> balise are not correct regarding to the namespace used.
Is anyone has a clue to help me, I would appreciate, I find a lot of informations about sitemap, but nothing about this precise problem.
Thanks by advance for your help !
EDIT :
I'm still looking for an answer and I found this answer from this topic :
http://forum.elxis.org/index.php?topic=7575.50;wap2
It is told that the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml namespace doesn't support the <xhtml:link /> balise.
The namespace that should be used is this one : http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/xhtml11_schema.html
I just tried, and it is well parsed by navigators. If this is correct, I really don't understand why Google gives a wrong tutorial on his own site ..
I would be happy to get some advices from SEO experts about this !

Blog has problems with html5 code

I know near to nothing of html, but I do maintain a blog.
I want that blog to be on bloglovin, but they tell me the RSS feed is not valid. What they give me is this tool that "checks" my code
here the instructions.
here the tool.
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmisbollosyotrascosas.blogspot.com.es%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3+http%3A%2F%2Fvalidator.w3.org%2Fservices
So main problem is, I dont know what doctype my blog has, nor I've been able to find info about it, so I don't know if checking said code on html5 is correct, or no. It's set to "detect automatically" so I'd guess it's getting it right, but I can't really be sure.
So, 1st problem: I don't know how to check the doctype.
2nd and more important, IF it has guessed the doctype properly, and it is html5, when I look for the piece of code the tool says it's wrong, said code does not appear. So I can't change code that isn't there.
Please mind 90% of the code is auto-generated, I do know programming, just not on web.
If anyone can point me of a way to fix this issue, much appreciated.
If you nothing about HTML, then brother you first need to either learn HTML and then come here for help. Or you should go to the forum or the place provided by the CMS (Blog service provide) for the users to chat about the product usage.
However, the DOCTYPE is provided in the very first line. If you open Document Inspector, you'll see a grey line in Chrome as: <!doctype html>. That is the declaration for HTML5.
Here is the w3.org's doc for the HTML syntax: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html
And here is the declaration for the doctype: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#the-doctype
Secondly, if they didnot find the document to meet the standards for the HTML5 then there might have been an error.
On the page, where you tested your DOCUMENT's code. They provided you with 113 errors in your document.
Please go and edit and fix them one after the other. To get help, go and Google the problem. 99% problems are solved by just Googling the problem and following the first 5 links if first 4 don't work. Otherwise, you can come back here and start a new question related to that problem. Programmers here would help you in doing that.

GMap3 not working in

please do somebody know why (jQuery)Gmap3 in not showing map if request is coming from Kosovo? Even demos on their official site are not working.
Thx for help.
Just came across this: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-maps-js-api-v3/E28X2lvjmbs while having a look, not sure if it's related or not?
As well as: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-maps-js-api-v3/W9JRmDSGSTE
Looks like there have been some issues with Kosovo for a while even though I believe Google has recently recognized it as a country within it's maps?

is rich-snippet value type deprecated?

i´m using google rich-snippet markup
and you define the type like
<div id="ap_top" itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Review-aggregate">
when you look up http://data-vocabulary.org/Review-aggregate in the browser, google say 404, not found thats all we know
i didn´t found anything about this is not used anymoren ?
anyone got information bout that ?
thanks in advance
You can still use the data-vocabulary.org URIs.
Even when they were offline forever, you could still use them. It’s about the URIs, not the pages you can find there.
However, on http://www.data-vocabulary.org/ you can read:
Since June 2011, several major search engines have been collaborating on a new common data vocabulary called schema.org.
So you might want to use http://schema.org/ in the future.

T character after .css extension(style.css?T) and numbers after linked images (image.jpg?1301930793)

Please, could anyone tell me what does above mentioned mean?
I'm optimizing one Drupal website for better search engine results and I have, for me, strange source code.
I'm PHP coder and I perfectly know rules of engagement of making dynamic URL's, but meaning of dynamic URL on something that should be perfectly static HTML (/sites/all/modules/cck/theme/content-module.css?T) and (img src="http://domainname/sites/default/files/slide1.jpg?1301930728") is totally unknown to me.
Please help me, thanks in advance!
It's possiblethat they aren't as dynamic as you think.
they may be rewritten urls to mimic static webpages, but are actually php script.
Also, it could also be a technique to make sure the client doesn't cache the files.
