[Framers] Toggling Condition Indicators Individually

Earlier I got excellent advice on how to build conditional expressions. I'm
hoping someone here has thoughts on the above. This question actually
concerns the same set of files with 8 or 10 different condition tags in it.

My boss has a hard time remembering what each condition indicator is
actually indicating. As a result, he has asked me to create numerous
versions of the document set that have various conditions turned on, but
only one of the indicators being visible.

That is to say, if the document has conditions A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H,
he wants to see the information tagged A, D, F, and G, but he only wants
the INDICATOR for F to be visible.

Right now I'm using MIF snippets to reset the colors for A, D, and G to
black on white (having discovered that As-Is just doesn't cut it), and
another MIF snippet to reset them to their normal colors, but it sure would
be nice if I could toggle the indicators for individual conditions. The way
I'm doing it is a bit error prone, and it is also very tedious.

Is this something that could be done with an ExpressScript or MIF editing?
Is it worth putting individually toggleable condition indicators in as a
feature request with Adobe? Am I the only person with an issue like this?
