I was thinking the same thing - frustration of trying to keep the front element clean on my da14mm or fish eye usually makes me quit before my concern for rain or snow damage. However, it is also useful for accidental splashes, shooting near waves or in swamps, etc. I'd always take WR over not-WR, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it on a wide angle.
My estimate from the photo using the lens mount as a reference is about 9.4cm (or ~3.7inches). The sigma lists 10.6cm, so a little shorter. Prototype may change and my measruring may be off:hmm:

It looks way more ninja with the gaffers tape on it. The hidden switch probably releases the shurikens (it is a * lens after all).
I'm not sure if this is a working prototype or just a mock-up, but it looks to be internal focus and internal zoom? I don't see any seams where it would extend. The Tamron 11-18mm extends only a wee bit when zooming and the Tokina 11-16mm doesn't extend, so I don't think this is out of the question.
