What is sitemap.xml and who cares?
sitemap.xml is a file that search engines used to better index your site. It gives you the chance to specific relative importance of pages in your site as well as give hints to search engines on how often they change, etc. There is no guarantee that the search engine will actually listen to your hints but in general it seems to help provide more accurate searches. As of April, 2007 Google, Yahoo and ask.com will read the sitemap.xml file For everything you ever wanted to know about sitemaps go to http://www.sitemaps.
