Namecoin makes sense; as we can use the same private keys to spend the
namecoin as spending the bitcoins.
Namecoin happens to be the only secure guaranteed global unique human
rememberable string system that exists.
I suggest that sending bitcoins to a namecoin name is the way to go...
It makes even more sense since namecoin started merged mining.

I was in brmlab and wanted to pay 1 BTC for a Club Mate. They had on
the wall a picture of their QR code and a bitcoin address. I don't own
a mobile phone so the QR code is
useless. Then I remembered FirstBits, went to my terminal and typed
1brmlab. I got their bitcoin address from the website and copied that,
then opened my terminal and pasted that in to send 1 BTC.
And
these proposals for Namecoin, would make bitcoin implementations
dependent on unproven technology. HTTPS/DNSSEC have been around a long
time and are responsible for many mission critical systems. There's a
lot of momentum behind those projects. Namecoin by contrast, could die
tomorrow. And it isn't a big deal that they're centralised. This is a
convenience for end users and does not affect the core system much.
tl;dr: usability
