What is the suggestion you ask?
Slabs in minecraft are very cool and allow for quite a lot of creative ideas and works of art. I think most would be glad to hear that this suggestion is not to make a slab for every block in the game, as that would take up a lot of block ids and what not. No this suggestion is simply that you should be able to combine the slabs. Now I understand that the way this is currently done, if two of the same half slabs are placed on top of eachother, they simply become one block. Or at least that is what I presume since double half slabs are avaliable in mods such as nei as well as when trying to break one of the slabs, the whole block breaks and drops the two slabs. If that was the case then there would be many extra blocks. So I also suggest changing the double half slabs to instead be slabs ontop of eachother. If you don't understand what I mean, check out the Red Power 2 mod's micro blocks which are infact seperate blocks when placed in the same area.
In short (For the lazy people)
Being able to combine the half slabs to get wooden and stone slabs in the same block area instead of ontop of eachother with a gap.
Pictures (For the confused)
If the half slabs are the same the connect. If they are not the same there will be a gap.
Even the different types of wooden slabs won't combine.
Roughly what it should look like.
A lot of people have also suggested vertical slabs in the forums, which would also be cool. Maybe even a combination of the two, for combined vertical slabs which would allow for one block thick walls, with different blocks on each side. It would be pretty useful...
You either have to assign a block ID for each combination of slabs, or turn slabs into blocks with tile data, which will have performance costs given how much more slabs are used than other blocks with tile data.
