Actually, there is a very successful example of this type of bathroom
in a mall in Lubbock.  There are actually three bathrooms, mens, womens,
and family.  The family bathroom has a nice wide hadicap accessible
doorway that leads into a large room with sinks, changing tables, a
bench, all that nice stuff.  Then within the bathroom there are two
large stalls.   I've never actually been in them, so I'm not quite
sure how they are situated.  But they have a kind of wooden panel
door insteald of the typical metal thing, so they are at least
slightly different than a regular bathroom.  And it does seem to
work very well.  I've seen everything from teenagers fixing make-up
to large families in there.  It really does solve the whoole problem
of who takes who to the bathroom.
