A "sett" (a word I've never heard before) is apparently colloquially called "cobblestone". To the extent that even the image in the Wikipedia article about "sett" is called "Cobblestones_01.jpg".

We cannot just introduce a new surface value "sett": That would change the definition of surface=cobblestone to no longer include sett surfaces. But almost all surface=cobblestone currently in the database have actually a "sett" surface, and according to the wiki documentation until now, this was the expected way to tag them - it was using a sett surface as an illustration for the meaning of surface=cobblestone.
