I generated a sitemap from magento admin panel -

caralog -> google sitemap

There are many links in my site which are not included, like

http://www.website.com/wishlist/
http://www.website.com/contactscutom/index
http://www.website.com/mysite-faq#refer

It seems only the links ending with .html are generated in sitemap.xml file, because all links in sitemap.xml are ending with .html.

Also the product sitemap only have url links which are enabled and whose visibility is Catalog, search. These filter are present in /app/code/core/Mage/Sitemap/Model/Resource/Catalog/Product.php file on line numbers 164 and 165 :

        $this->_addFilter($storeId, 'visibility', Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->getVisibleInSiteIds(), 'in');
        $this->_addFilter($storeId, 'status', Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->getVisibleStatusIds(), 'in');

I would like to know is this is the way sitemaps are generated? or should it include all the URL's present in magento website, including all products.

This is the way the default Magento sitemap generates.

There are 3rd party extensions that will allow you to put all your pages in the sitemap, but by default, Magento doesn't like all of them.
