Cobalt has resolved the issue concerning multiple Body Tags in their car dealer websites. I published an article earlier about The Cobalt Group car dealer websites having a critical problem in their CMS (content management system) inserting Body Tags throughout the user editable text areas. This was probably causing search engines to fail to index content properly on their website pages. The obvious gravity of the problem got a lot of attention. Cobalt has taken swift action to correct the problem. I appreciate how much work is required to manage so many dealer websites, and the complexity of propagating those changes across multiple versions.
Cobalt has also changed the robot.txt file to include the reference to the sitemap.xml file. I still found the sitemap.xml files are still missing the XML. And there are no Priority or Frequency Tags.
But the cleaned-up HTML should be a big help to search bots, and hopefully helping Cobalt dealers to move up a notch or two in their SERPs.
