    I have a lot of addresses I've created asking for donations and I don't always think about tracking them every single place that I leave them. I envision a time when I will retire or loose or otherwise want to move a receiving address from one bitcoin client to another. It would be nice to have an easy way to export a public/private keypair from one client and import it in another. Perhaps there'd even be a way to email them or send them between two client's RPC channels.

    A followup to this is to also be able to share my bitcoin address book for outgoing payments that I send to others.

    Your first paragraph seems to duplicate https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/#issue/71

    Transferring your address book for outgoing can already be done through RPC: do listaccounts on the source, then setaccount in a loop on the destination.
