This is a very modest suggestion overall, but it would have a lot of interesting possibilities. If we had a pressure plate or other form a switch activated by water, and a door/hatch/whatever that allowed water to pass through when opened, then we'd have a way to make logic gates with water (as an alternative to redstone) and also have water flow affected by either water or redstone logic. (For some reason I think water logic by itself is pretty cool).
I second this suggestion. Water gates would be an excellent addition. It would rival redstone for sophistication.
Perhaps doors which open vertically, like trap doors downwards, to let in water from above.
Also, water would have to 'fill' a room, which would require some pretty fundamental changes in how water works as it is.
Floating blocks would then be a killer blow. You could route a rail network by a raising and lowering floating blocks. Now I'm getting ahead of myself, I'd be happy with water gates.
Im pretty sure notch wants to add something like this in the first place. Why bother posting something so obvious?
I didn't see any Notch comments on it in the thread full of his comments. If we were to make a list of all the "obvious things", then that list would be massive. So that and pointing out how pressure plates of some sort that respond to water and gates that can allow water to pass through or stop it together would provide a red-stone logic alternative seemed worth pointing out.

I think it would be pretty cool if we could do water logic gates WITHOUT all this new stuff. Using the way water currently works. It may not be entirely possible, but it'd be an interesting and fun topic
While saying that - pipes that let water flow endlessly for the length of the pipe
