My case uses dynamically generated xml files, so I don't think this is a robust solution...? Are you familiar with http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/generators/linkstatus-generator.html , the documentation is skimpy, but it may be what we need to handle both static and dynamic cases.

I think both the google and RSS formats are simple enough to provide. Although, I may need some assistance to know how to build in hooks from skinconf.xml to the sitemap format generation.
