New description:

 This is an XML file supported by some web search engines to allow a site
 to steer results towards preferring some URLs on that site over others via
 a `priority` attribute:

 https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html

 If omindex understood such files, it would provide a way to prefer some
 results over others (e.g. prefer the latest version of the documentation
 over that for older versions).

 Using the sitemap format for this saves us having to invent a whole new
 format to specify this information, and means if you're using omindex for
 a site which already has a sitemap, it could be automatically picked up
 and taken into account.
