This is, in fact, more or less what I'm doing.  Actually I have one
sequence for actions, one for projects, and one for unusual states (like
CANCELLED);  I'm finding more uses for it as time goes on.   So the
extra flexibility is more than I actually need, but not so much that I
can't see any use for it.

I would like to see this settable in lisp, though, since I want to use
my TODO keywords all across my GTD system rather than different ones in
different files.  I can probably try to put together a patch to do this
tomorrow, just so that I'm not kibitzing without offering code.

I don't think an extra syntax would be too worthwhile.  If you're
already setting TODO keywords in the file itself, three lines vs. one
line is not a big deal.
