The 4 digit file number is to follow the current EXIF standard. If you do not like this, try to get the EXIF standard updated.

Most people I know that use compact digital cameras have their photo files renamed automatically when downloaded through their downloading software, e.g. "Franky's 5th birthday 001.jpg"

I don't really see a problem unless you are shooting over 10,000 photos on a card during one shoot. Let users rename the files as they download it where they are able to easily type in the alpha description like the example I gave.
