That's immediately what I started thinking about when I saw your
question--I submit you should request a feature that allows a row to
be tagged in some semantic way. Cause I want this too.

For example, say I have an outline that I'm providing clients about a
project that has some items I want to share with them and some that I
don't. I'd like an easy way to mark items "private" or some such and
then export the "public" items only.
