 * By default, WordPress generates Site Maps. You can find the base site map at 
   mysite.com/wp-sitemap.xml
   This links to a set of dynamically-generated additional
   maps based on post type, taxonomy, etc.Would it be possible to have the option
   to include these sitemap files as part the static site generation?

 * If you’re using the Enhanced Crawl feature, Simply Static will automatically 
   look at XML sitemaps as one of the sources it uses to discover URLs. That includes
   things like /wp-sitemap.xml and any sitemaps it links to. As long as WordPress
   is generating those sitemaps and they’re publicly accessible when you run the
   export, Simply Static will:
    - Request /wp-sitemap.xml
    - Follow the links to the child sitemaps
    - Export those XML files as static files along with your pages
 * If you want explicit control, you can also tell Simply Static to include these
   sitemap URLs:
    1. Go to Simply Static → Settings → Include pages and files.
    2. Under Additional URLs, add (one per line).
    3. Run a full export.
 * That ensures those XML files are explicitly included, even if they weren’t discovered
   automatically by the crawler for some reason.
