Comment:

 Ok, I've attached a diff of what I've been working on. It's not quite done
 yet, but I wanted to post it for others (aka @ptahdunbar) to see if I'm
 headed in the right direction.

 It adds two new arguments to register_post_status that allow it to be
 attached to a particular post, and determines if it's explicitely shown in
 the status drop down box.

 I also added an optional extra argument to register_post_type that lets
 the post type explicitly declare what post types it handles. If not set,
 it handles all the default post types, plus those declared to it by
 register_post_status.

 This is a pretty early version. I still need to make the meta box handle
 these better, but I'd like any feed back from those more knowledgeable
 then I.

 I can post examples of usage if needed.
