One thing you can do to avoid the page priority issue and still use the DNN sitemap is edit the file sitemap.aspx.vb and comment out the line in the function BuildURL(...)

' sb.Append(WriteElement("priority", SITEMAP_PRIORITY, Indent + 1))

When you do this the xml produced will no longer produce the priority tag. But, consider this a "core" modification so you'll have to remember to make this change the next time you apply an upgrade...at least until this is fixed. And be sure to make a backup copy of this file just in case you need to revert back.

Also, as far as I can tell the lastmod tag doesn't work as you might expect. It reports the same date (Date.Now) for every page regardless of them changing or not.

Hope this helps.

This is a relatively new feature in google, I know I've logged this one in gemini. I would say it's not a "serious" issue for that reason alone, but I do understand the serious need to improve google search ranks "come what may!"
