After messing around a bit with redstone and iron doors, I had a few ideas that would make building with doors much easier and would add a few new things that doors could do.
1. Simpler double doors
This idea is very simple. When a door is activated through a switch, button, pressure pad, and the like, both that door and any doors adjacent to it (and doors adjacent to the adjacent doors, and so on) would also open. This would allow people to make double iron doors much more easily and would also open up some new opportunities with my next two ideas.
2. Sideways/lying down doors
My second idea is to allow doors to be placed lying down. This would allow trap doors to be easily made with the already existing doors. However, perhaps they should have a different texture when lying down, as most trap doors don't have windows. Combined with my first idea, you could make 2x2 trap doors like this, or even make an entire hallway's floor open up in to a lava pit, if you want.
3. Allow liquids to flow through open doors
This idea is also very simple, but would add tons of possibilities. The most obvious use for this is flood gates, but there are plenty of other things this could be used for. You could make switch-activated lava/drowning traps, air locks, and plenty of other things that people more creative than me could come up with.
I like it, but I think a trap could do the same thing with doors on the ground.

I am just a guy looking for good suggestions that are original, creative, and match the theme of Mine-craft. I have some mob ideas that I need help forming which is a community project.
I like the first one, but it might create complications if you have doors next to each other on and angle like this;
( = Door)
because say, if a pad was here,
( = Pad)
Then all three doors would open.
With the second one, as nomorespifynames said, this is already being discussed and may or may not get implemented in this way.
As for the third idea, that would be really hard to implement. If there was water coming from a hallway like [] [] [] []
while the door is closed or "positioned" in that particular way, water shouldn't be able to flow through right? so when we open or "reposition" the door, it would turn 180 degrees and supposedly let water move through the door, as so: (just imagine the open door)
But if the door was open to a hallway perpendicular to that, in the same position, it would be "closed", as so:
(keep imagining it...) [] [] [] []
But it would be open to liquid coming from the original direction, if you remember. So if there was a hallway in the shape of a plus, like so, [] [] [] [] []
A door would have to be transparent to one flow of water while solid to another. This kind of thing in Minecraft is very impossible. This is what makes me think that this kind of thing would be very difficult to implement.

A like them all, especially no. 3, but 1 is a problem that really should get fixed

No, it wouldn't, but I admit it might make things a little more difficult. All you need is a door, then sort of an airlock room, then another door.
