/**
 * How frequently the page is likely to change. This value provides
 * general information to search engines and may not correlate exactly
 * to how often they crawl the page. The value {@link #ALWAYS} should be used to
 * describe documents that change each time they are accessed. The value
 * {@link #NEVER} should be used to describe archived URLs.
 * 
 * <p>Please note that the
 * value of this tag is considered a <em>hint</em> and not a command. Even though
 * search engine crawlers may consider this information when making
 * decisions, they may crawl pages marked {@link #HOURLY} less frequently than
 * that, and they may crawl pages marked {@link #YEARLY} more frequently than
 * that. Crawlers may periodically crawl pages marked {@link #NEVER} so that
 * they can handle unexpected changes to those pages.</p>
