I'd like it if all blocks would use gravity, but only if they were not connected to any other blocks. Sand and gravel would still fall. It'd be like this:

No blocks would move, because there are no floating blocks, but...
[] []
[] [] []
[] [] []
The block would fall. This would not affect sand and gravel;.
I could see it coming in Beta. Eventually. You still have to overcome the issue of not having some sand take physics upon it's spawning, which probably will end up leaving in 1.4b or 1.5b.

Because potatoes have never been something so valued to mankind.
I remember Notch hinted at something like this where blocks would need support beam every few blocks with maybe an exception to some special blocks like obsidian. I have no Idea if he is going to implement it though.
