Melon seeds are very diificult to find when creating a new world. Reason why I said very difficult because sometimes there's that certain circumstance where you explore the abandon mineshafts and you find just one melon seed. You're playing on any difficulty higher than peaceful, and two creepers head toward you. You try to kill them both, but one manages to blow up and kill you. Your stuff is so far away from your spawn point, that you wouldn't make it back to your stuff in time before it were to despawn. Back to subject, pumpkins naturally spawn in new worlds, so why not melons? If I were Jeb, I'd have them naturally spawn in NPC villages, with their own patch, like how NPC villages have wheat farms. Yes, I know, there's that trading feature with NPCs in 1.3, but it would be nice to have more than a few ways to obtain melons. For the color of melons, why not have them green and rename them to watermelon? Hope Mojang uses this idea in the future. Happy Minecrafting.
Here's some problems with your ideas.
Yes, pumpkins naturally spawn in patches. But are they a food source?
The answer is no. They are also a potion ingredient. A 64 stackable, farmable food source, that is a potion ingredient should be more easy to obtain? No, thank you.
Besides, with time and effort they really are not that hard to obtain.
I am happy with how melons currently are. Decent suggestion but I don't believe you thought it through.
No support from me.

Kingdoms rise and fall. Just don't burn the paintings in the Louvre, that's all.
and in a way i want mass prodution of mello limited a bit..maybe say you get 4 seed from 1 melon block..instead of a seed per slice.. as it stands now one seed and = a melon farm in a very short time
