Of course not!
At least for one thing: I *totally* hate it!
The Cocoon sitemap was almost designed to allow you to 'encode' stuff
right into the URI and in my projects I do
/search(2)
to get the second page of the search, instead of the usual (but ugly!)
/search?page=2
Not only for search engines, but also for site usability.
