[DML] How far do your doors open?

[Owen Emry <owen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Every once in a while, I come across a technical drawing like this one:
http://www.dmcnews.com/faq/t_dims.htm

...that shows the door open a full ~90 degrees.  On most (if not all) actual cars, the gas strut seems to limit the door travel.

Thus, my question:  What else (other than the gas strut) limits the door travel, and why don't our doors open further?  Seems to me it would be more convenient to have the door open as far as possible.

Regards,
Owen
