Interesting. I rarely bookmark an internal page. Often there are many 
internal pages of a large site (and that's what we're talking about 
here, generally speaking) that interest me, so I only bookmark the home 
page (or simply type it into the address bar) and rely on navigation 
from there. Hopefully the navigation allows me to go from A to B 
easily. If it doesn't, the site generally loses me as a user...

Large sites without dropdowns/flyouts can certainly allow users to go 
from A to B easily. But they don't always.

Site maps *shouldn't* be an "or".  :-)

(My own sites are in dire need of updating in this regard!)
