Despite what seems a trend against including site maps, as a user I'd 
like to register a big vote in favor of them, especially on large sites. 
    In fact, I often use the site maps on large corporate sites because 
it's much faster to scan a single page with all the links on it, nicely 
organized by category, than it is to click through six or seven 
top-level menus, looking for the sub-menu and path that will eventually 
take me to the page I want...especially if the menus are fly-outs or 
flash-based.
