If you think about it for a minute you would see it just isn't sustainable. Maybe where you live there aren't blocks and blocks of parked cars but many of us do have those conditions. It just wouldn't work having to ding every parked car you pass. No, just no. If that practice ever took hold in Portland it would be only a matter of months till a ban came down from City Hall on the practice. Portland has one of the premier Mass Transit systems in the nation. Cyclists so paranoid about doorings should strongly consider just not riding a bicycle in traffic.
