The other thing that I would like to see is a Smashwords link in the message if the book is available at Smashwords. Given a choice of downloading a title from Sony, B&N, or Smashwords, I prefer Smashwords because it is always DRM-free.

I think most of use use this convention:
noDRM - DRM free, format can be converted
PDF - non-drm'd PDF (may or may not convert well
Kindle - for Kindle only, in Amazon store
nook - for the nook only, from B&N
EPUB - DRM'd EPUB, need ADE (works with several readers)
ADE-PDF - DRM'd PDF, uses ADE, can't be converted
I seldom put the store name, because that isn't a format (Kindle and nook, are). For Smashwords and other drm-free sources, I use "noDRM" and suggest others do, as well.
There are some books in both the B&N and Amazon stores that end up DRM-free, but I generally don't check for that. Often the ones at ChristianBook are DRM-free, but you have to download to tell. Usually someone pipes up and makes a comment if they are DRM-free (and are free to flag a message to get a moderator to fix the format list).
