According to the sitemap.org site i found this reference:
http://www.sitemaps.org/faq.html#faq_sitemap_location

It doesn't really say that the filename HAS to be sitemap.org, search
engines (may or maynot be crawling for a specific filename), but it
looks like you submit the URL to your sitemap.xml file.

http://www.sitemaps.org/faq.html#faq_after_submission

i'm not sure if you are documenting practices or specifications?

The favicon path and name can be overwritten by the LINK element:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon

but versions of IE do not honor this and look for favicon.ico. Infact
it doesn't need to be .ico format at all.
