Hi, thanks for the responses so far about a potential mod_sitemap OR using
the current sitemap_gen tool. Since there are some questions about why this
is relevant applicable to httpd or apache-running web masters, some thoughts
on where we are coming from (apologies for the longer email):

Thanks for the explanation. Your mail contains interesting and valid points, but
I still see no reason to include this in the distribution of httpd.
Right. The question isn't: are sitemaps good? I think most of us agree
that it is basically a good idea. The question is: How does it benefit
our users to have it as part of httpd rather than getting it from
google.com? The costs are added size and complexity of our distribution
and added work in keeping it in sync as the sitemap spec develops.
Those aren't huge costs, but there would need to be some real benefit
for our users to outweigh them.
