Google has introduced some nifty extensions to the
Sitemap protocol,

However we don't have such information easily available in the
database,
so this requires parsing through every File page, which will take
several millenia.
This will not work at all with the current sitemaps script as it scans
the entire database every time and regenerates a number of sitemaps
files from scratch. So, what we need is something more iterative, that
only scans recent stuff. (Or, using such extensions will have to wait
until someone brings licensing into the database).

Bryan, Roan and me are working on this:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/License_integration
Right now we're mostly brainstorming for the best way to do this, we
expect to plan
real development within 2011 but it will most certainly take a while
before it's done
and stable, working, backwards complatible, proper usability, code
reviewed
and live on Commons.
