I want to eliminate DONE and similar states
from the list of refile targets.  The benefits would be:

  1) The set of candidates is reduced, requiring fewer
     keystrokes to select a target.
  2) The possibility of misfiling into a task that will be
     archived is reduced.
  3) The list length is reduced, helping to work around some
     of the speed problems that I have been experiencing with
     ido.  This is possibly at the cost of slower creation of the
     initial list, however.

The documentation for org-refile-targets says:

>   - a cons cell (:todo . "KEYWORD") to identify refile
>     targets by todo keyword.

In principle I might get the desired behavior by including
all kw /except/ doneish ones, and also including the empty
string.

But if I did so, I don't think it would work, because I
already set (:maxlevel . 5).  I did not find a way to
specify that I want non-doneish entries (including blank)
that are below level 6.

Would it be feasible to allow AND and NOT?

  (setq org-refile-targets
        `((,(file-expand-wildcards (substitute-in-file-name "$dorg/*.org"))
           . (and (:maxlevel . 5)
                  (not (:todo . "DONE"))
                  (not (:todo . "MOST"))
                  (not (:todo . "MOOT"))
                  (not (:todo . "DUPLICATE"))))))[fn:13]

Or is there a way that I can do this with existing org?

Thanks.

[fn:13] Or (not (todo "DONE")) or (not (or (todo "DONE")
...).

  Apologies for the triple post.  Gmail told me, twice, that the message
  was not sent.

  Hi Samuel,
  
  do not want to make the criteria in org-refile-targets any more complex.
  But you can now write a verification function and put it into the new
  variable org-refile-target-verify-function.

    Thank you!  I presume one uses org-entry get here?
    
    Also, how to verify that the entire subtree of a doneish task is not
    included?  Is there a way to skip the subtree?
    
    Perhaps if the function returns 'skip-entire-subtree, then it can
    indicate that there is no need to look at the descendants?
    
    (Or, depending on one's taste, nil could skip nothing, t could skip
    the headline, and subtree could skip the subtree.)
