First off, the manual actually is quite good. At least I've found it
to be a good reference and good for searching (when you view the
manual as a single file). The lisp expression sets the default. The
'#+' line overrides for the file. Actually, I've never really use the
lisp expression. Since there is now the ability to have multiple
sequences of todo states, I guess I don't know if it's an override or
if it's just adding a new sequence. I would guess it's an override
though since I do not have the TODO/DONE sequence in any of the files
where I've added the '#+' entry.
