Comment (by scribu):

 The problem here is that you're hard-coding IDs inside theme templates.
 Once you do that, the theme is tied to that database; you can't re-use it
 on other sites.

 Instead, a plugin could allow you to register image slots, similar to
 register_sidebar() or register_nav_menu().

 Actually, now that I think of it, my Front-end Editor plugin already
 allows something like this:

 There is a case to be made to bring something like that into Core, but
 that's another ticket, IMO.
