Not sure how many addresses would be required. Probably also depending on the business. Maybe hundreds, or even thousands?

Extending the getnewaddress RPC call to take a [count] parameter would be easy.  Doing the same for the GUI would be pretty easy, too...

I like the Lazy API idea, which is to create a couple of addresses in advance to keep track of payment. It solves the problem of having to run a bitcoin server to be able to automatically track order payments.

To make it usable for end users, creating a couple of addresses should be easy, though. I guess making them install a script that generates them is not really viable. Making it a feature of the bitcoin client seems the most usable approach to me?
