I like all of the above but I REALLY don't want to see scores of sourcebooks spanning everything from Elminster's front lawn to the sewers behind his house.
Let's try to keep a broad overview and limit the number of books. A wetlands/marsh/swamp book sounds good. So does aquatic & forests/jungles. Maybe mountains & hills but this may be pushing it a little (is there really enough material for this?).
If it becomes too specialized, it becomes too much of a niche market and won't appeal to enough people.

After Frostburn, I'm looking forward to all of them. I'd like to see an underwater book first. In addition to all those mentioned, I'd like to see one that covers unusual and magical terrain, like adventuring in space, in-depth looks at Astral and Ethereal terrain, and outlandish stuff like the terrain of the Far Realm.

Short and tight is my preference.
"Cold 'wet' and dry", "Hot and dry", ..... and last Hot and wet, and really wet. I like 3 book series over the never ending series.
Next book would be covering wet. Swamps, jungles, and aquatic. End it there.
For me the books need to be about a specific environment as a challenge in itself. Both cold and hot are solid challenges without even adding monsters. Water can be a hazard.
At least for me that's the only remaining environment worth a full book. The rest I can cover with a couple paragraphs in the DMG or a Dragon article.

We need an underdark environment book like we need a 500 page book of prestige classes. That is to say, not in the least.
I'm not sure if Woodlands would be very useful, either, as it's sort of the base D&D outdoor environment. You don't need additional creatures or rules because they are all there already.
Volcanos is a bit too specific I think. Should probably go in with a Mountains book.
Wetlands could be nice.
Jungle would be my vote (not rainforest, though it could cover that as well).
Caves might be good, but should probably just go in with Mountains along with volcanos.
