      The SEO moz is showing an error on one of the sites within my SE Moz account campaign under Crawl Diagnostics: Title tag missing or empty. No problem here but the file associated with this issue is sitemap.xml and that just dose't look right as as far as I know xml files are title tag free.

      I've searched around and i've  been able only to confirm my initial thought that sitemap.xml dose't use a title tag .. like any other xml.

      is this an issue ? (the error that is) or i should let it slide.

      can it be fixed ? if yes, how ?

      Thanks !

        I'd say you can safely put this issue aside. As you've mentioned yourself, xml files don't need title tags, and I presume you aren't trying to have this page rank in the SERPS in the first place anyway. Perhaps one of the SEOmoz fellows can look into this?
