How does 1Web Personal Domain really work with MobileMe?

I'm reading the steps of iMap and the author says "If you domain forward or mask to your .Mac (MobileMe) address, please always use the .Mac (MobileMe) address and not your own domain!" It seems to me that anyone who registers a personal domain name must domain forward or mask. If these instructions are correct, how would one's own domain name ever appear?

G4 Dual, Mac OS X (10.4.11), all software updates

This instruction is for Google (and other search engines) to find your sitemap if you publish to MobileMe.
It has nothing to do with how people get to your website or what is entered into search engine results.

That's not correct. iWeb's personal domain feature is designed to use CNAME pointing.
