    That's totally fine. Although adding other parameters might turn out useful for you.
    Are you typing manually, or using some tool to create the map?
    Bye :)

    i use php to create my sitemap dynamic, there are 80,000 urls, so i must use a sitemap index.
    Does google think this is a friendly sitemap?

    If you are only using <loc> ...
    You might as well create a pure text sitemap file I think
