Frequently asked questions
What is x-default?
The fallback for users whose language matches none of the set — usually your homepage default.
Do the tags need to be reciprocal?
Yes; each page should reference all others in its set, including itself.
Do I need both XML and HTML tags?
One is enough; pick the place you already control.
