I can add it, but I don't know what the interface would be from the
list.

Yes, I'd like to change the list so that it can handle colored text. I
am using underlines and bold; could use italic, but it didn't look
good with the font I was using.

Done in v4. Which is a big improvement over v3; you should try it!

Yes, I think that's a good idea. I don't like the names: they sound
academic and they're awkward English. I added a third kind of
classification, which is right now called PreDefinedClassification
and is used for special collections.
