You meaning having one sequence going at a time and replacing it with
each use of #+SEQ_TODO: or  #+TYP_TODO:?  I don't think I'd like that,
but I could see how other might use it and how having multiple
sequences at once could polute the names space so to speak.

How about a generalize syntax where you name a sequence.  If you don't
give a name you are defining/replacing the null or default sequnce.
So:

===============================================
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE
#+SEQ_TODO: (BUG-TRACKING) REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED
#+TYP_TODO: (TEAM) Fred Laura Peter Me OK
.
.
.
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO WORKING DONE
Now the default is redefined
.
.
.
#+TYP_TODO: (TEAM)
The TEAM todo type is effectively gone.
===============================================

This would let me have my set of TODO 'types'.  It would allow others
to redifne the default todo sequence without having them all at once.
It might be a pita to implement though.
