I think you've hit on what has been driving this discussion. Some people want to use "watch" for auto-downloading, but others want to use it for on-line reading, as a way of indicating that a thread is worth watching.
Those two methods of using Pan may or may not need separate supporting technologies; but it's important to realize that people's requests are being driven by two completely different needs.
I'd still appreciate a more visible distinction between watched read and watched unread, preferably by font, colour or brightness.
