Finally someone has addressed this. All the crazy drum beat in the SEO community over the last year to create site maps was loud. It became almost a mantra. Of course the fervor really originated from Google, heck if they say it, it must be good right? I haven't been able to pin down the true benefit to Google. But it seems to me that there is no clear benefit to a site owner if your site is crawlable and indexed well.
SmallBusinessSEM address the topic and gives some vague anecdotal evidence that when he implimnented a site map his site took a hit, when he took the map down everything came back.
