My question is: 1) how do you make org.el "remember" what sequence is in
use for a particular task?  2) how do you tell the user what sequence is
in use for a particular task?

The reason behind my suggestion to use "TODO_1 NEXT_1 | DONE_1" is that
it solves both questions without requiring anothing new.  You can even
replace DONE_1 by DONE, because you usually don't need to cycle through
keywords once an entry is marked DONE.

As I said, you can switch from one sequence to another if they start
with a different keyword.

Then you can use "Done" and "Cancelled" as you wish, provided that you
don't expect S-<right> on them will produce something logical -- e.g.
set-dependant.

I'm not trying to say the current way of handling sets is the only one,
not even the better one, it's just that I don't know how they could be
handled otherwise - maybe i'm too myopic on this.
