Bing URL Submissions Plugin for WordPress

Bing has just announce the release of Bing URL Submissions Plugin for WordPress as open source project. The plugin allows webmasters of WordPress sites to get their content easily, automatically and immediately indexed by Bing as soon as their content is published

Once installed and configured with an API key obtained from Bing Webmaster portal, the plugin detects both page updates and new pages created in WordPress and automatically submits the URLs behind the scenes to our Bing Webmaster Tools API ensuring that the site pages are always fresh in the Bing index.
Some other handy features included in the plugin:

• The ability to toggle the automatic submission feature on and off.
• ​Manually submit a URL to Bing Index.
• View list of recent URL submissions from the plugin.
• Retry any failed submissions from the recent submissions list.
• Download recent URL submissions for analysis.

I wonder if having this has any added advantage over just submitting a sitemap in Bing Webmaster tools for non-news sites. I have asked them on twitter, will update the post if they give me a reply. (Retweets could help )

does this have any added advantage over having a sitemap in BWT? ( assuming the site is NOT pushing out time-sensitive content ie: NOT in the news/publishing space )
