I see what you're saying now... though I can see myself working in a
flow like this and inadvertently painting, re-painting, and
mis-painting the same few verts over and over again.  The advantage of
the current system is that you know exactly what you're painting and
you don't have to worry about what you're "un-painting" in the
process.

The problem I see with what you suggest is that there's no way to
really see what changes you're making to the weights of a vertex to
other bones while you paint for one particular bone.  That being the
case, I'd rather have visual feedback matching (and therefore limited
to) exactly what is known, no more and no less.
