Google's New SiteMap Generator

And what to do with it...

[kwirl]

Google has released its new sitemap generator (https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/stats) and I'm quite excited about being able to finally participate in Google's analyzation of my site without resorting to tricks and hacks to do so.

I have a question however about just how this might be effectively used:

On another thread, myself and many other users used a php/apache 'trick' to turn dynamically generated URL's into static ones.

If my understanding of the google sitemap project is correct, I will no longer need to apply this apache mod and php script to future pages in order to make my site indexable by google, correct?

The mod-rewrite "trick" is a standard procedure that has been widely accepted for years. I would still encourage using mod-rewrite. Even if search engines can crawl ugly urls, users like clean urls. Also cleaner urls are easier to get links for.

well then i suppose my question would be does anyone have any recommendations for getting google's new sitemap.xml script to crawl dynamically generated or artifically static urls?
