i a have ss3.1.6 installed.

i have "silverstripe/googlesitemaps": "dev-master" in my composer file etc

composer update

and i've setup mysite > _config > googlesitemaps.yml

---
Name: customgooglesitemaps
After: googlesitemaps
---
GoogleSitemap:
enabled: true
objects_per_sitemap: 1000
google_notification_enabled: false
use_show_in_search: true

when i go to http://dev.mytestdomain.com/sitmap.xml i get

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://dev.mytestdomain.com/sitemap.xml
Line Number 3, Column 1:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Is there a good way of figuring out what is causing this?

I have done view source
lines 1 and 2 are blank

line 1
line 2
line 3 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
line 4 <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='http://dev.mytestdomain.com/googlesitemaps/templates/xml-sitemapindex.xsl'?>
line 5 <sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
line 6 <sitemap>
line 7 <loc>http://dev.mytestdomain.com/sitemap.xml/sitemap/SiteTree/1</loc>;
line 8 <lastmod>2014-10-03</lastmod>
line 9 </sitemap>
line 10 </sitemapindex>

Where is the blank line coming from in the xml file . i don't have closing ?> php in any of my code

and visiting http://dev.mytestdomain.com/sitemap.xml/sitemap/SiteTree/1

again get error with 2 blank line in source code and then
line1
line2
line3: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='http://dev.mytestdomain.com/googlesitemaps/templates/xml-sitemap.xsl'?>

This is someone having the same problem, who said to have fixed it by removing extra (illegal) whitespace on custom page types:
http://www.silverstripe.org/community/forums/blog-module-forum/show/9158#post281571

And this is another more drastic solution, by changing the doctype to HTML5 that seemed to have fixed the same issue (???):
