Looks like Google and Yahoo united to create a unified sitemap format.According to the website even Microsoft will support it. Finally, a consensus that will make webmasters' lives easier.

(IT looks like they're using the Google Sitemap format)

That is some good news for the webmasters . webmasters must work to adapt and implement this new Sitemaps Protocol 0.9 Standard. They must follow and abide by the unified protocol, as defined at sitemaps.org and learn to accept this new standard of processing and submitting Sitemaps to Google and Yahoo! and soon MSN.Because of this supported effort and open initiation, this means that other search engines, especially MSN, will most likely develop some type of Sitemap submission service that abides by the Sitemaps Protocol 0.9 Standard.
