However, there is now some talk about not submitting sitemaps to Google.

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/expert-advice-on-google-sitemaps-verify-but-dont-submit

The basic idea is that if you don’t submit a sitemap and allow Google to crawl your site naturally, then what it does not crawl may give you insight as to what Google deems as important or unimportant.

Also, submitting a sitemap may inadvertently tell the Google spider to crawl a page that is weak or a hinderance to your ranking.

Interesting counter-points. I’m still not sure if I agree although it’s something to consider.
