For me it would depend on the horizontal screen estate, not fixed to a
number, but 8 to 10 seems a reasonable choice.

Bad example, as what you see when visiting mozilla.com depends on the
language choice of your browser.
If I go to http://www.mozilla.com/en/ there is a sitemap above the
footer (with the same background as the footer, so maybe you mean
that) on http://www.mozilla.com/de/ however, ther's only the footer

I'd vote -1 for such a huge sitemap as part of the general footer. On
the few entry pages: Yes, no complaints, but definitely not for all
pages. It just takes too much screen estate, especially when you think
about netbooks and the like.

This is something we can try now already, however beware of breaking
pages (more precise the css) that makes use of the tables as
selectors.
As we don't have a staging site, it is not easy to do without breaking
the site for at least a couple of minutes/hours. So either now, with
still a week or two before the release of 3.2.1, or if you think it
isn't doable in that timeframe after the release.

I won't touch that topic - action statements or not has been
exhausting. I personally still don't like it, but that's what has been
decided upon, I'd rather not change that now.

So bottom line: The problem is that we don't have a staging area, that
you see the final rendering only on the live system. This causes a
high risk of breaking the whole site. Given that a new release of OOo
is soon to be released, you need be aware that any change now is time
critical.
