Three things - 1. I believe that the 'lost user' will have scrolled to the bottom of the page and, if executed as well as the Plusnet example ([3] in my previous post), they will find the sitemap. 2. Sitemaps in the footer are a safety net - not a principle navigation tool 3. Footer sitemaps are unlikely to be comprehensive for deep/expansive sites and, in these cases, will be served well by by focussing on the higher-level categories. I'm not sure there is any use for a exhaustive sitemap on information rich sites - no-one wants to look at the entire catalogue of the Library of Congress on a single page, this is where search applies. Most of the sites I cited below have a large number of pages and their sitemaps provide great fall-back signage to the majority of content.
