Actually, I probably wouldn't use that tag when mapping (at least not 
locally).

Tagwatch for GB
http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/Great_britain/En/tags.html
suggests "footway=both/left/right" etc. is more common:

footway <http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/osmxapi/*[footway=*]> *both 
<http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/osmxapi/*[footway=both]>* (1553), *left 
<http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/osmxapi/*[footway=left]>* (890), *none 
<http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/osmxapi/*[footway=none]>* (837), *no 
<http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/osmxapi/*[footway=no]>* (474), *right 
<http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/osmxapi/*[footway=right]>* (252), *signpost

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:sidewalk&action=history
seems to have been created a couple of months ago only and doesn't seem 
to reflect actual usage

Tagwatch sees 32 uses of "sidewalk" in GB.
