Okay, quick and simple theory here.
Sora is told multiple times throughout the first Kingdom Hearts that he will open the door to the light, by the mysterious voice from his Destati. The last time it happens, it's the last line of the game - it's a dangling plot hook for the next games, and seems to be something really important.
Then, in Kingdom Hearts II, Sora finally does open the door to the light. And it's about as unimportant as it can possibly be - it's essentially a Get Out of Darkness Free card.
But, think about it. This is Kingdom Hearts. This series loves drawing massive, terrible consequences out of things that seem to be purely beneficial. Just look at how much of CoM, KH2, and Days happened because Sora sacrificed himself in Hollow Bastion.
Now, think about this for a second: Sora opened a door to the light on the very edge of the Dark Realm. What if that door's still open? If it is, and KH3 involves the results of that, the mysterious voice's reminders would actually start to make sense again.
I just wish I had a better idea of what the consequences of opening a door to the light would be. =/ The obvious one would be the appearance of creatures from the Dark Realm in the Realm of Light, which could be interesting. But, I get the feeling that whatever happens in KH3 will be less predictable than that, and more closely related to the events of Birth By Sleep.
Speculation could still be fun, of course.
