How about a compromise? No drop-down menu, but how

select which languages they would like to see? I would be more than
happy to ignore the entire world, except for Japanese and the Queen's
Eng.... err, English.
That wouldn't help the common case: people using the default options,
who have never logged in, or who are not aware that languages they are
(or will become) interested in are available.
Some of the other links should be moved elsewhere.
Upload image could
be on the 'Special:Specialpages' page. Same with Bug reports, and
current events.
Upload needs to be better accessible from edit mode, but is less
important when viewing. 'Bug reports' must be prominently available from
any page, or we'll never get any. ;) 'Current events' IMHO is useless,
but maybe other people find it interesting. No reason to put it in
special pages, as it's not a special page...

for as many people as possible. Does anybody know how to make regular
hyperlinks (rather than buttons) do submits (without Javascript)?
I'm not aware of such a mechanism, and would consider it a gross
violation of user interface standards if there is one. Next step is "how
do I make my application installer enhance Explorer/Finder/Nautilus so
clicking on a regular file deletes it without warning?" ;)
