If you want to include more, you can either break these into multiple sitemaps or create a Sitemap index file to manage them. Use the XML format provided in the Sitemap protocol. Your sitemap index file shouldn't list more than 1,000 sitemaps. These limits help ensure that your web server isn't overloaded by serving large files to Google News. http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=74288&topic=10078 Hope that answers your question...

I have looked around but I cant find a suggested/optimal number to feed Google with. Is there any reason we would want to limit the sitemap to 20 items?

Or did you? @Alex, From what I can see on the webmaster tools you can simply submit an rss feed instead of using a sitemap.xml. Why go through the trouble of creating this is their own feed from feedburner would work? @Greg
