[WM] sitemaps, breadcrumbs and isroot

Hi Kevin,

I use separate pages for most of my content, but I tend to place my
root page content into the .wmk file.  Maybe it's cheating, but I
change the content on that page often enough that I figure I might as
well.  In the rest of my pages, I place:

       <wmmeta name="up" value="xxx" />

It might not be needed, but it makes me feel good.  And I haven't had
any problems with breadcrumb trails.

Of course, this solution might not work for you.  It's an idea,
anyways...
