normally we use .xml format for our site.

I would suggest the use of .xml file for building your sitemap.

.xml sitemap use just like sitemap.xml...

As my opinion .xml is better for using the Webmasters.

i think sitemap.xml is best

Hi,
I wonder what will be a better choice using .xml or .xml.gz

I prefer .xml since Yahoo! and Live might get it to work as well, no idea if another search engines accept .xml.gz.


Also, does lastmod, changefreq and priority are important? if so by which order?
