Issue Summary
The change frequency is not accurately calculated in a number of cases.
For example I have homepages for different languages using panels. The sitemap says these are updated monthly because the last time the panel was saved (I presume it is using this date) was a couple of months ago. But the actual content of the pages, supplied by views etc is changing weekly if not daily.
The same goes for pages which I have custom db queries that return results that change by the minute. As the page is saved once the sitemap thinks it has a very large change frequency.
So I would like to be able to override the change frequency on individual nodes / pages (basically wherever you are able to override the sitemap priority now).

@Helmke: You changed the version of a old closed ticket! Don't do that!

Reopening this because the other issue went nowhere.
I would still like this feature considered for the reasons I outlined above.
OR an option to exclude the change frequency from the sitemap altogether as everything other than the URL of a page is optional in the spec: http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php

Please don't re-open old issues. There are existing issues open to cover this feature request:
#705732: Add advanced options to control what <url> elements are included
You can also adjust the frontpage frequency already in 6.x-2.x and 7.x-2.x.
