====Notes====

The xml file contains:
* Xml Declaration
* List of Rewrite Rules
* Each Rewrite Rule contains:
** PathType: this identifies how the path is interpreted
** LookFor: the incoming path
** SendTo: if the incoming address matches the LookFor url, then this is the path that the page is sent to
** RedirectPath: this attribute is used only when the url is forwarded to a new url.  The address on the browser is updated to match the SendTo url.

Note: Multiple rewrite rules can be executed for a page.
