The documents on sites framework should clarify that the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/contrib/sites/#django.contrib.sites.models.Site.domain
"domain"] should be a "fully qualified domain name" or just the "domain
name".
An example where things can be confusing:
I have a setup where all requests to non-www domain i.e.
`http://example.com` are redirected (with status 301) to
`http://www.example.com` by the webserver. Hence I've set my preferred
site in google webmasters tool as `www.example.com` (as opposed to
`example.com`). When I use the sitemap framework, the urls generated are
`http://example.com/abc` which is incorrect in my case. This makes me
think that the domain in sites framework should have been
`www.example.com` (instead of `example.com`). This is not evident from the
documentation.
