I think what is really wanted is the notion of an account.

You want to know the balance of an account, where an account could be
defined various ways
-- a single address
-- a group of addresses
-- a group of addresses under a deterministic public key(s)
-- some arbitrary collection of unspent transaction outputs
-- just something with a name, and no addresses/inputs associated with it yet

I think if we get the notion (or notions) of account right, the
balance logic is easy.
