Comment (by Nobble):

 This would be great! Defining locations makes more sense as a theme
 developer as it could open up easier ways of managing widgets:
 - create different widget groups for a location based on the page (for
 example a blog post could have a different widgets in the sidebar compared
 to a regular page).

 - a better visual ui for widgets. Right now the widget admin screen lists
 areas vertically and if a theme has a lot of areas it becomes hard to
 manage. It's also less intuitive than seeing the page visually represented
 in sections that reflect the actual page layout. If locations can be
 defined the visual ui for widget management could be improved at some
 point to.
