I read that as he just wants to be able to see what upcoming bills there are to pay, and when. If you put in an action to pay a bill, this seems like quite a normal use of OmniFocus -- isn't looking at your future actions something you do often? The only thing being requested here is a somewhat richer set of repeat controls, which I think most of us would welcome.
I would caution anyone doing something similar to remember that a list of future actions will only show the first repeat, as the subsequent repeats are added as the previous one is marked completed. It wouldn't be good to look at the listed actions for the next 3 months, total them up, and assume that's your budget for 3 months, because you'll only have 1/3 of the monthly expenditures shown!
