Google has introduced some nifty extensions to

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:

We got indeed started on this, but during discussion at this list I
found out that perhaps we were not following the proper approach.
