For the FileGenerator I have another name in mind since a long time:
XMLGenerator. This would make it consistent with HTMLGenerator and nearly any
else generator too. From where the XML is read is independent on the generator
itself, but only depends on the source provided via @src in sitemap. Having this
in mind ResourceGenerator is not the best name possible IMO and will continue
the irritating naming.
