<li>Posts: <code>yoursite.com/sitemap-post.xml</code></li>

Sitemap by click5

This does everything we want, including customization of the page layout, columns, omissions, exclusions, etc.  I can honestly say this is our new go-to for an .html sitemap... I'm knocking off a star only because we have to change the silly permalink and remove /click5_
