Our experience is that Google does tend to follow their own Sitemap standards, but you have to use them and use them wisely :-)

Well, to be more specific, google is indexing tags, member pages, and blog pages first. I don't even have blogs in the sitemaps and the priority for the member and tags pages is lower than thread pages.

I don't know - I guess I'll just wait and see. My translate tables already total over 2 million records and are on a steady increase!
