Actually, that's no longer true if you use the new sitemaps declaration in the robots.txt file:
Code:
Sitemap: <sitemap_location>
where <sitemap_location> is the complete URL of your Sitemap Index File (or your sitemap file, if you don't have an index file). This directive is independent of the user-agent. so as long as it is present in the robots.txt file, all engines will be able to find your sitemaps. I see this as an important extension to the protocol, as it removes the need to individually submit sitemaps to each engine - simply add one line to your robots.txt file, and we will find your new and updated sitemaps automatically.
You might bear this in mind for a next version of this add-on.
