Guys this video made in 2009, and now the situations have changed. Don't blame Matt for this..

I think they are of both significance. It will only have to depend on hoe it is used by the user.

There are about 12 different types of sitemaps, Google uses the xml version, but all are important.

Alltho sitemap.xml is now a standard we shouldn't disregard natural indexing. Because most of the online sitemap generators do not allow more than 500-1000 URLs in the fitemap (for free) I've made my own online sitemap generator which allows up to 20.000 URLs and it's free of charge. You can find it at: sitemap-xml [dot] net

For indexability = use sitemaps.xml, .txt for yahoo, bing,google webmaster tools submitting. For usability - use sitemap.html

The Webmaster Tools response to a submitted sitemap that reads:Sitemap is HTML Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead.I think it's referring to the CONTENT of the file rather than file type. It means theres HTML code inside it, which isn't correct. It's not supposed to be a list of links, it's supposed to be a list of URLs. As mentioned in the video, even a simple text file list of each web page is helpful to Google - and those aren't links.

paginate it so that you only show X urls per page. we have one that shows like 10,000 links per page.

HTML Sitemaps are not supported by Google Webmasters Tools indeed. It will be great if Matt Cuts show us how to submit a html sitemap to Google crawler.
