No, you can't.

Your answer is correct: No.

Your assumption is correct. However, the 2005 amounts are a
maximum of $4000 per individual or $4500 if at least age 50
in 2005.

The limit is per person, and it's $4,000 in 2005. See
Publication 590.

Default Maximum contribution to one Roth IRA for married couple?

In 2005, the maximum Roth IRA contribution is $3,000 per
person. My wife and I each have a Roth IRA, and we file
jointly. Can I contribution $6,000 to her Roth IRA, if I
don't contribute any to mine?

I'm guessing the answer is no, and I would have to put $3K
into my Roth and another $3K into hers, if I want to save
$6K total.
