I was thinking that since Notch is going to implement maps then why not also implement a block that allows you to store them and display them. It would be similar to a dispenser (with nine inventory spaces) that you can place up to nine maps inside. The block would display the top-left map (inside the inventory) on top of the block so a player can look down at it. Right clicking the block would cycle the maps.
Display Block [] = Redstone
I guess it could also be hooked up to redstone to automatically cycle the maps. I also think this could be used to display other items that were placed inside, but that would just be for aesthetics or trophy purposes. Could still be interesting.
I'd refine the idea a bit more but I'd love to hear suggestions first. Also, I hope that we'll be able to type some text onto a map as to be able to name it for organizational purposes.
I think it would be a bit of a challenge considering the map is randomly generated. The main challenge would be having it look the same on the wall or floor as it does when you hold it. If they can figure that out I'm ready to support it.
However, I would prefer it to be place-able like ladders, but on any side of a block for easy viewing. It would be simple and the only thing that is needed is the map itself.

How about we wait until the feature is added before we start talking about stuff that should be added to the feature... maybe it's already going to be place-able?
