What it says on the tin. Would like to be able to flag dots so they don't get removed by remove curse, much like bad="1" does for buffs.
I would probably be best if bad="0" is the default, but that would mean adding bad="1" to every existing bad DOT in the game. That's not too big of a deal, and it would help a lot with XML consistency. Are there very many that would need to change? If only I had a SQL Database that I could easily query to answer such a question. Oh wait, I do! There are 85 DOTs.

Either that or the person who made the DoT is mean. If we change the behavior of DOTs that don't have a "bad" attribute to mark them as bad then all DOTs in all current mods would automatically become good. For the most part, modders can make changes like this quickly, so it's not that big of a deal. That's a lot of DOTs. ("More DOTs! More DOTs! More DOTs!")
