Focusing on the use cases is the right approach. @p{par}

One variation: @p{par}

5. Export keys to transfer funds to somebody else.  Recipient is expected to import and then immediately send-to-self.  Sender keeps the keys 'set aside' in the wallet until they are spent by recipient, or, if not spent by recipient (lost in transit maybe, or recipient chokes on a lollipop before having a chance to redeem), may be added back into the sender's balance. @p{par}

And one usability comment: @p{par}

Is "selected keys" the right way to go?  Just selecting an amount of bitcoins to export/send seems like a better way to go (with a send-to-self transaction generated, if necessary, to create the right amount), with maybe an "advanced" option later that lets you select specific inputs to export/send. @p{brk}
