You can already do that, just select View from the
orientation dropdown in the 3D view header, then press
X, Y or Z twice.

On that matter, Z, X, C would probably be best, you'd
just have to remember that C is Y, but that's a bit
silly anyway, X, Y and Z are already pretty easy to
hit with one hand and the correspondance is a good as
far as UI goes (try telling someone that Q,W,E is
X,Y,Z and watch them laugh).
