Indeed.  I think the thing to do is to write an extension that creates
a registry for special-use flags, registers the 6154 flags in it, and
defines and registers \Important.  The registry can be defined with a
policy of "First Come, First Served", and can recommend that
documentation be provided.  Should be short and simple, and I'll be
happy to help with it if anyone should want to do it.
