Dmitry, thanks a lot for clarifying, you are absolutely right.

The idea to "rename" is good. I think "Sitemap" is clear enough, but 
"Sitemap (from rootpage)" or something might be clearer.

The problem that appears if we hide the "pages" field when this is 
selected, is that you cannot make a sitemap from a different starting 
point. The "Menu of subpages" only goes to the next level, while the 
"Sitemap" goes 7 levels deep.

So maybe we need another "Menu type" called "Sitemap (from page)" where 
the "pages" field is shown (and used in TS) and "Sitemap (from 
rootpage)" without the "pages" field.

Cheers,
Ernesto
