If we're going to always rely on servers, we should definitely offer dynamic addresses. There was a bitcoin service in the forum to which merchants send different addresses and the service manages the payments for the merchant without holding his private keys. The service identified each shopping cart by a combination of the total amount and the selected address for that cart. I don't remember the name of the service though. It could easily implement aliases (the same alias for various rotating addresses). Of course, the service provider still knows your income and you still need to provide new addresses to maintain your privacy. I say this just in case it inspires someone.
