Ah, interesting. I'll give it a try.

I tried it and it works great (small typo: there should be a colon at the
beginning of "RESET_CHECK_BOXES"; I see that some colons are missing
also on the above site).

By the way, what is the canonical way to install contribs? The
doc.norang.ca site says to simply add a "load_path" to the source
directory of org-mode, but maybe there is another way.

This is also what I was expecting.

Stolen from Bastien ;-)

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq org-todo-keywords
       '((sequence "NEXT(/)" "TODO(t)" "STRT(s)" "WAIT(w@)")
         (sequence "|" "DONE(d)" "DELEGATED(D@)" "CANCELED(c@)")))
#+END_SRC

No, it's nil.
