wonder if it would be good idea to have a alias to wallet id nameserver in
the client software where a person can use a english name to describe a
wallet public key address? and the software can use it to look up the
wallet id.
wallet ids are hard to remember/recall.

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.

I'd raised this topic before suggesting to leverage DNS as its kinda useful
for mapping names to numbers.
Expect no support.

Namecoin already has an id/ and a/ (alias) namespace for such use:
{ "name" : "id/pichler", "value" :
"\"BM-GtK6TiTtVo9toGVdk2zy3t4jGXZyZeMH\"", "expires_in" : 29397 },
{ "name" : "id/pigeons", "value" : "{ bitcoin:
1BekNv7ezkx8eAjdkrUta2BTp9bbxU9LGG, bitmessage:
BM-opfhTsUKdTezPiWFHxRQtM1ZMDvjKMkHf, ripple: rnziParaNb8nsU4aruQ
dwYE3j5jUcqjzFm}", "expires_in" : 10089 },
{ "name" : "id/pisces", "value" :
"\"BM-GtK6TiTtVo9toGVdk2zy3t4jGXZyZeMH\"", "expires_in" : 32034 },
{ "name" : "id/plattler", "value" :
"\"BM-GtK6TiTtVo9toGVdk2zy3t4jGXZyZeMH\"", "expires_in" : 30999 },
{ "name" : "id/pope", "value" : "{\n \"bitmessage\" :
\"BM-2D7L1Suh1choaKt321Le3bS6PT6nxfWqpR\"\n}", "expires_in" : 29765 },
It's popular enough that it's been squat spammed by a few actors
recently, and several bitmessage IDs are there along with Bitcoin
addresses, etc.
