Assigning different materials to selected surfaces is an excellent idea and works fine. However unfortunately you cannot assign a material to vertices, and sometimes the difficult and time-consuming selections concern individual vertices. Thus Spinner's request looks still soundly based.
About saving such a selection, why should it be done in the main .ac file? At least in principle it could be just another plugin to write and load small ASCII files containing the selected items, whose name might be, for instance, mainname-n.sel (n in case more than one selection is to be stored separately). Maybe not a de-luxe solution, but it might work.
