I am afraid you are wrong
An extract from Google's site.
"You must place the completed Sitemap in the highest directory that you
would like Google to crawl. Generally, this is the root directory. Google
can only accept URLs contained in your Sitemap that are the same directory
level or lower. For instance, if you place your Sitemap in
www.example.com/foo/, Google will not be able to accept
www.example.com/ as
a URL in your Sitemap"

Google will index all pages on your site that it can find. The only purpose
of the sitemap is to help Google find and index them quickly and
efficiently. It also helps Google to know how often the pages change, so it
can schedule a re-crawl appropriately.

Where does the sitemap specification say that Google will only index
pages at or below the level of the sitemap? Even so, I have had no
trouble with Google indexing the Case Wiki
