Assuming that CANCELLED is a DONE state - see

  (info "(org) workflow states")

for details - the above should work for CANCELLED as well. E.g.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TODO: TODO | DONE CANCELLED
* TODO foo
SCHEDULED: <2014-06-09 Mon>

* DONE bar
SCHEDULED: <2014-06-09 Mon>

* CANCELLED baz
SCHEDULED: <2014-06-09 Mon>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

then the agenda shows all three if org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done is
nil, but shows only `foo' if it is set to t.

As a more general question, should the default be t for all three of the
org-agenda-skip-*-if-done variables? It seems that most people prefer
that behaviour. Perhaps we have gone around this before, but I didn't
check the archives.
