There is also no robots.txt - http://www.sitemaps.org/robots.txt

Maybe they don't need one? This is a page that is easily crawled and is in the top 3 for searches for "sitemap" on Google.

If it ain't broke...

There's no requirement for the sitemap to be at /sitemap.xml, or even to be named "sitemap.xml". They may have one, but since the norm is to submit them directly to a search engine (thanks for nothing, Google), sitemaps aren't typically automatically discoverable.

It's not that ironic. Sitemaps are an "easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites." Hardly a requirement for a simple site.

Irony: HTML5 Boilerplate site does not use HTML5 Boilerplate or HTML5 in general. (nav, header, footer, etc...)

If you're going to take the time to dig through twitter for that you should at least post my responses:

The point of HTML5 is semantically better elements. div#header is not the preferable HTML5 element. Neither is div#footer.

html5boilerplate.com should be dog fooding. It's not.

Wow, that's really surprising. Especially given my perception of the quality of HTML5BP.

Who said that sitemap.xml is always in that location? If it is not specified in robots.txt then they don't want you to know about it in case it exists.
