What is the etiquette (spell?) for this?
Let's say the revolving door is the type that moves continuous (no need to push on the glass). And, from looking at it from an overhead view, the 'pie' is in 3 wedges seperated by (of course 3) vertical glass panels. With me so far, lol?
Well someone walking in front of you (a stranger) enters the revolving door... is it alright for you ALSO to enter within 'that spcace' ............... OR......... should you wait for an empty section to come around?
I'm just wondering if it would be considered imposing on a persons personal space for those 3 or 4 seconds. What do you think?

I would agree with the others here. I would wait, also. Everyone has different ideas and issues with personal space. Someone may 'freak out' with you being that close to them. So w/o knowing everyone and their limits, I would wait the second or 2 for the next open space.

As a male I would expect it to be reasonable to give/offer the right of way to the person you "met" at the door entrance, male or female , as common respect... Despite the womans lib aspectsI will always hold a door for anyone (in close proximity) But Iwontbe suckered into standing there while everyone and they're mothers gets around to getting to the door either... with revolving doors IT is differant with folks going both in and out we have to be cautious for older folks or folks who happen to be wearing longer clothing for whatever the reason.. or packages .... sometimes its just easier to use the wing doors if they are available ... :)

On the rare occasion that I use these doors, I wait for a free slice of pie. It probably doesn't matter too much, but I like my personal space and the other people using it might too.

Wait and enter the next space.

Wait for another section to come around. 1 per section is proper. Unless you know the person.

Wait.

I would just go with the flow, but probably take the next empty one. You must have way to much time of you wonder about crap like this.
