I didn't mean to say that it _is_ one.  I meant that nowhere is this
particularly clear, and there is a natural sense in which they are
sets because they hang together in some way relevant to what was
asked.  (This is the general reason why data from the additional
section can't be promoted to be used as answers, for example.)

So if people want it to be clear that RRsets are sets but message
sections are not sets, it would be a responsible thing to write that
down.  That's all I'm trying to say.  I think we agree about this
(since that's what you also said).
