On the demo call today we discussed a couple of technical issues that
impact but are not specific to government. These are:
1) That given a data URI, there is no standard way to
programmatically access the metadata about the resource.

I also looked at the DERI.ORG sitemap extensions. The explanations were well worth the read. The potential problem I see with extending sitemap is that it disconnects linked data from it's RDF and (Collection of) Human Readable HTML parts - 1 site=1 Database - and if you had more than one <owl:Thing> to share it could get very complicated. Therein lies the rub.
For reasons stated here:

with an example here:
http://www.rustprivacy.org/2010/meta/linked-data.xml
or for the bold:
http://www.rustprivacy.org/2010/meta/linked-data.xsl (on valid XHTML)
I think the complexity is in the nature of meta data and not in the sitemap mechanism. However, I could really, really really use some feedback from the W3C and deri.org.
