A wp-sitemap.php would be the right way to do it if it was to be added to the core.
However, if this is to be added to the core, then there also needs to be a way for Wordpress to "ping" Google on new/edited posts. This is done by making a GET request to httpwww.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=url-encoded-url-of-the-sitemap-file. There would also have to be an option added to disable this functionality. Perhaps adding some additional capability to the "Update Services" is called for?

Perhaps a
wp-sitemap.php
similar in fashion towp-rss.php
and the like.You are aware that there is already a plugin to do this, though?
