From the looks of things Mojang is setting up strongholds to become a pretty big part of the game. Which is pretty disappointing given how rare they are and difficult to find (being underground and all).
Given that many players don't want to cheat by calculating their spawn location, using x-ray skins, etc. nor do they want to dig miles of tunnels just hoping to stumble across one by chance. It would probably be a good idea to add some legitimate way of finding strongholds more easily, for instance making them all have a visible entrance on the surface or causing their location to show up with a red X if the player crafts a map.

Well, after enjoying Minecraft for a long time I finally broke down and contributed back: exactly one adventure map. TRY IT NOW! YAY! Fall of Kingdoms
I would make the color be different then red. I think this because lava is shown as red and I dont want to be looking at my map and blindly run into lava.
This is a great I dea however you do know that they already spawn with an entrance from the surface marked by a 3 by 3 wooden square of planks with a way down in the middle.
The idea behind strongholds is to have it be completely random and unknown, not something that has a method for discovery; that is why they are so rare (3 per world).
A very good idea here. Lava at the entrance, at least to me, doesn't really fit it, but something else that's extremely uncommon but easy to see would work well. Maybe something like corruption, where there's dead stuff near it and regular dirt, gravel, and sand mixed as the soil. Even if they already have entrances, they are so rare that it would be good to make them more noticeable.

I like this idea. Could be good if they take a look at it.
