With a good 200 pager, they can really give a good glossing over of at least six or seven different cultures at once. I'm talking like:
I agree with the ideas about lands outside the regularly travelled and adventured in zones. One for either GH or FR would work for me, since I'll be stealing the ideas for my homebrew anyways.
Al-Qadim would be nice.

As long as I can get it at amazon for cheaper...
I'd like something Greyhawk related, since there hasn't been much so far...
a mega adventure revamping the GDQ series, perhaps as a sequal to RttToEE.
a mega adventure revamping the A1-4 series.
a mega adventure revamping the I3-5 series.
a mega adventure revamping...(you get the idea)
a new, original mega adventure for greyhawk.

As for me, I have just recently spent $40 on a 320 page book, not by WotC but by Green Ronin. Yes, it's Book the Righteous and it's the best D&D supplement I have bought besides the Core Rulebooks bar none.
It's what D&DG and DotF should have been about, it's a great read and chok-full of ideas and inspiration.
In other words, since WOTC have been incapable of releasing such a book, and I can't imagine they will ever release a book similar in scope that I would be interested in...
Although Al-Qadim 3E or a generic Birthright book on designing and running on a grand scale including army rules etc. might tempt me. But I don't believe they'll ever do it...

...a Big Book of Maps! 200 full-color (and quite a few full-page) maps, detailing a variety of settings. Bump this thing up to PHB or ELH size and give notes/descriptions on a lot of it.
90 pages of dungeons, including abandoned temples, dragon's caverns, and massive underground dungeons.
35 pages of castles/keeps, showing interiors of the castles themselves, as well as an overview of the layout of the entire keep and its surroundings (birds-eye view).
20 pages with several maps each of generic taverns/inns/shops etc...,
30 pages of outdoors maps, covering swamps, forests, mountains, deserts, and more. Include about 5-10 pages of detailed areas, such as a Druid's Grove or some other small locale.
15 pages of cities, from 2 per page hamlets; all the way to 2-page sprawls of cities that would rival Waterdeep.
10 pages of Continental/Campaign maps, showing a generic layout of rivers, mountain ranges, cities, kingdoms, and such.
And, in the very back, a poster-sized Mega-Dungeon, crammed full of the best aspects of any dungeon crawl.
I'd gladly pay $40 for this.

Hey, WotC?
See Oriental Adventures? See it? It's all pretty?
Yeah, that was fantasy-in-a-new-setting done *right,* and done very, very right. The only wonky idea I can see in that entire book is the Iajustsu (or however it's spelt) thing, and since one can easily ignore that, it's not that wonky.
You third-parties? See Nyambe? See Oathboud? They're both all pretty?
Also fantasy-in-a-new-setting done *right.* Very, very right. Nyambe's only problem is that sometimes Mr. Dolnut's personal biases bleed through into the rules (not often, but it happens...meh. No biggie). Oathbound's only problem (and it's a teeny tiny, eentsy weentsy one) is that it's too cool.
These are the books I'd like to read. These are the books I'd like to own. These are the books I'd like to write myself.
Forgotten Realms...not so much...bleh...
Oh, and the pre-packaged campaign is a brilliant idea and I fully support it and hope to whatever divine power may be listening that they write that...
In fact, I'm tempted to do something like that on my website...hm...^_^

I also like the Arabian Adventures idea as well as the updated classic adventures. It's really too bad that the whole silver anniversary series went down right before the transition to 3e. Although I'd actually prefer straight reprints with converted mechanics rather than Return to... style sequels.
Edit: Oh yeah, and the mass combat/domain rulership book too.
