Those posts never pulled more than a handful of clicks, and I eventually stopped updating the XML file altogether.

Getting back on topic: some of the better search engines will start ranking & indexing XML files as well as HTML, PHP, PDF, etc. I'm pretty sure Google has been doing this for a while.

I don't know if it will revolutionize search, but it will allow users to find timely information (from feeds updated each minute/hour/day) quicker & easier than before. Imagine hitting the "I Feel Lucky" button every time you searched.
