Dear Carsten,
I have a feature request: 
in the variable org-log-done
could you please make 
also the word CLOSED: configurable ?

The rationale:
I have a file with the (scientific) journals I want to read.
When I've read the journals I want to have a note where I
record the number of the issue read (lognoterepeat is perfect).
---------------------
    -*- mode: org; -*-

#+STARTUP: lognoterepeat
#+SEQ_TODO: READ | DONE

* Wiley
** READ [[http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jtoc/5860/][Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications  Progr. Photov.]]  
   DEADLINE: <2009-01-14 mer +1m>   CLOSED: [2009-02-27 ven 14:08]
   - State "DONE"       from "READ"       [2009-02-27 ven 13:46] \\
     Volume 17 Issue 1 (January 2009) 
   - State "DONE"       [2008-10-16 gio 15:02] \\
     Volume 16 Issue 6 , Pages 461 - 553 (September 2008)
-----------
However since they are repeated tasks, IMHO, is not necessary
tag them as CLOSED, like Org-Mode does:
  DEADLINE: <2009-01-14 mer +1m>   CLOSED: [2009-02-27 ven 14:08]

the record of the changed status, in the note, is enough:
                                         |||||||| not closed
                                         VVVVVVVV
   DEADLINE: <2009-01-14 mer +1m>   
   - State "DONE"       from "READ"       [2009-02-27 ven 13:46] \\
     Volume 17 Issue 1 (January 2009) 

So I'd suggest a new value for org-log-done:

logonlynoterepeat  ->  "onlynote" record only the note, 
                                  not mark it closed
or, less easy to be remebered,

lognoterepeatopen  -> "open"  , still open, not closed
                               

cheers,
Giovanni

P.S. the doc string of the org-log-repeat variable
would be clearer with lines in this order:
   #+STARTUP: nologrepeat                         
   #+STARTUP: logrepeat                           
   #+STARTUP: lognoterepeat                 

 instead of :
 #+STARTUP: logrepeat	      
 #+STARTUP: lognoterepeat   
 #+STARTUP: nologrepeat     

Since,if I undestand it correctly,
                                 value:
   #+STARTUP: nologrepeat        = nil
   #+STARTUP: logrepeat          = time
   #+STARTUP: lognoterepeat      = note
