Waiting for and Contacts

I've had trouble figuring out exactly where 'Waiting for' lives in  
information model. I too have thought of it as a triage status. I  
wonder though if it's not really a part of the 'communication  
status'  family.

Read, Unread, Needs reply, Waiting for.

That way, 'Waiting for' items can have their own triage status.  
'Waiting for' something NOW versus 'Waiting for' something LATER  
versus a completed 'Waiting for', DONE.

Now the question is, how do we integrated 'Whom we're waiting for'  
into the model?
