Subject: Feature Request: "Keeping me honest"

Hi, I'm not sure how/if these are implemented or implementable.
* "Keeping Me honest"
When i outline a project, sometimes there are points that are
ambigiously stated. Being neither actions or titles, they can slip
through the cracks. So i've been thinking of a feature that would be
similar to the "stuck projects" indicator. This would be a set of
words that would naturally follow a TODO or similar, to indicate
that the title has some honesty to it. Its to enforce a kind of "GTD
verb" in every actionalble outline title.
Implementation wise, i was thinking this could be a word list
associated with a todo or tag. That list would then be used to font
lock the first word of an outline header. e.g.
<wrong> * TODO foobar compatibility needed for something
vs
<right> * TODO change feature X of something so that it works with foobar
Either the first word, and/or the whole line would be highlighted a
different colour. GTD words are not the only use for a feature like
this. It might be used to highlight that a bug ID is needed in a
"FIXME" heading with a regexp "ID#[0-9]+" associated to the "keep me
honest" field.
Not sure where i picked this list up from but here are some example
GTD words to test with:
*** "PROJECT" todo-type outline action verbs
Finalize, resolve, handle, look into, submit, maximize, organize,
design, complete, ensure, research, roll out, update, install,
implement, set-up
*** "TODO" todo-type next action verbs
Address, ask, avoid, buy, change, clarify, collect, commend confront,
consider, create, decide, defer, develop, discard, do again, download,
enter, file, follow up, hire, improve, increase, inform, inquire,
maintain, measure, monitor, order, paint, phone, prioritize, purchase,
question, reduce, remember, repair, reply, report, research, resolve,
review, schedule, sell, send, service, specify, start, stop, suggest,
tidy, train, update, upgrade, write.
Tim.
