I am trying to add the <image> tag to my sitemap, but even trying to look at the XSD , as mentioned by Google at www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=183668 , I get 404 Error not found (the XSD link: www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1 ). How is that possible? Is there anyway I can validate it without the XSD?

If you are looking for schema validation, you need to also reference the proper XSD files:

<urlset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation=
"http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1 www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1/sitemap-image.xsd
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1">

You can find your answer in the same link you passed (http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=183668), in the section Sitemap Extensions.
