Comment (by Otto42):

 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
 http//www.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?
