Do people still worry these days about opening doors across a bedroom in
case the occupant is in a state of dishabille ?


AIUI the door should open to protect the room.

What from?

Ok then, to protect the people in the room from being seen early.
I.e, the door should open inwards into the room and hinged on the side which
gives most limited view. If the door is in the corner then so is the jamb,
hinges are on the other side.
That's how it 'used' to be, dunno about now.
