I don't think that the sponge should be removed. Having a bigger variety of available blocks is always nice, even if it's just for decorative purposes and not available in survival.
I agree that sponge shouldn't be removed, but I disagree with part of your post. Sponge isn't just for decoration, have you ever tried putting sponge in water? You can make cool underwater places with sponge!
I know people say bad things about it, but I like to spawn in the jungle. It's easier to protect your house from enemies in the jungle, you can get a cat to protect you easily in the jungle, jungles don't have many hostile mobs because of ocelots, and seriously, cherry wood doesn't look nearly as bad as people are saying. Also, in my jungle house high up on a tree two walls are made out of glass, and the view is great
So seriously, Jungles are not bad.
I'm not sure what this void thing, but perhaps it's similar to the bug I noticed when creating a new world with the snapshot. After digging a hole in the side of a mountain for shelter, I noticed some of the stone blocks were in fact dropping dirt instead. Placing a block beside some of the stones (in my case glass) turned the stone into grass also.
Later I visited an NPC village and noticed some of the houses were only half built yet where the rest of the building should have been, I couldn't walk into. Noticing these weird invisible blocks, I starting placing sand so it would fall atop the unseen blocks. Some of the sand I 'placed' was instantly replaced with whatever block the invisible block was meant to be. Effectively, I was 'colouring in' the city, replacing all of the missing blocks in the village by placing the sand.
I suspect the misrendering of individual blocks is also what caused the stone blocks to turn into grass. Strange, but true.
Is this the 'void' phenomena you speak of, or have I come across some zany new bug?
The village thing happened to me on a server before I downloaded the new snapshot, (and the grass thing too,) but another player that was there said the village looked perfectly normal to him.
You know how bedrock is at the bottom of the normal world and top of the nether? I think that the Minecraft world is above the Nether, with the void seperating them a little to prevent people from getting between the worlds without a portal. But I might not be right, I don't know.
I'd like to see what a skin of this person would look like, could you make him maybe?
