I can see that my suggestion would add complexity in both code and org
files.  Supporting multiple DONE states would be a nice, especially if
they integrate properly with the agenda.

Maybe we could use the same grouping conventions than for tags :

  #+SEQ_TODO: TODO NEXT INPROGRESS WAITING { ACHIEVED DONE }

That would make it easy to have several states and just a few logging
steps.  Consider the next sequence being just *three* states :

  #+SEQ_TODO: { TODO NEXT } { INPROGRESS WAITING } { ACHIEVED DONE }
              `-> state 1   |                      |
                            `-> log-state 2        |
`-> state 3

I quite like the idea of grouping the sequences within braces. However, I think we might be describing (slightly) different things. To clarify what I'd REALLY like to be able to do is to define different sequences, for use within a single file, rather than a single sequence made up of sub-sequences.

a hypothetical example:

#+SEQ_TODO: { TODO DONE } { BUG RESOLVED } { REQUIREMENTS DESIGN DEVELOPMENT TESTING }

This would define 3 sequences which are each for different things, and might even be unrelated, though nesting related sequences might be quite nice:

* TESTING

** BUG

  Bug report...

*** TODO Identify cause

  Suspect foo is the problem.


Here I've assumed that the last state within each group is the final DONE state, though it might also be pretty neat if multiple DONE states could be supported.

Anyway, it's just an idea.

Thanks again,

R.
