I am using wordpress along with Google (XML) Sitemap Generator Plugin, and have got a question about sitemap priorities.

By default, The plugin gives higher priority to category, tag and archive pages. Even the author of this plugin himself does so, I don't know why. Aren't articles more important?

Here is the author's sitemap, you can see that it gives only 0.1 priority to articles.

There's no good reason for doing that, although to be honest priority is hardly used and has no effect on ranking, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
