From lurking on diverse mailing-lists I've understood that 
'ribbons (TM)' are not the main target - actually some of 
LO/OOo users are ribbon-transfuges that didn't really 
appreciate this unilateral design desicion (and who may care 
a lot about their screen-real-estate).

Meanwhile I've seen talks on LibreOffice lists about having 
an interactive properties-panel, preferably a vertical 
sidebar one.
The two could be IMHO basicly the same thing, one a lateral 
panel, and the other a sort of toolbar on steroids.

If implemented in a true FOSS-way, the properties-panel 
would be customisable, dockable and placeable where ever you 
like - including in a ribbonesque position.

Just thoughts,
