Kevin: as I understand, LIST creates set from tags, while SET lets you use the same set-defining mechanism that you can use in e.g. constraint conditions. So maybe the my wording was not right, but it still stands that when you refer to a set you "call" two names, depending on what command you use to create it. That's why I use the bset and mset tags in the xml, to get the word "list" out of the equation.
Which might not agree with everyone, but I am not adamant on this (nor on anything, really) -- the goal is a format that everyone feels comfortable with.
