BTW, I didn't have a chance yet to thank Carsten for implementing it. It's great, thanks! I'd say that it is quite comfortable to use it for oscillating between states. You can also try to use tags to mark the pending tasks, but lognotestate gives a way to timestamp such changes and log the reasons. The only annoyance is that since the sequence has to be linear and if the sequence is TODO-WAITING-DONE, you cannot jump from TODO to DONE. In this case, I would simply change the sequence to WAITING-TODO-DONE. After all, all tasks are WAITING to be started before they go to the TODO state :).
