Chris,
First, an important point: addresses are not wallet ids. They are single-use
destinations for a single transaction. It isn't intended that anyone should
remember them, just that they should send them electronically (or with eg, QR-
Codes). Bitcoin does not (yet?) have a person/wallet identity system, but
there are other mechanisms for this already (eg, PGP).
With regard to your idea, I believe it is satisfied by the new Payment
Protocol that Gavin has been working on. You will be able to publish a URI for
a website which people can reuse to pay you more than once.
Luke
