Would it help to actually use the mathematics terminology? We debated
this several times back in the OGSI days. The spec currently reads in
section 5, line 238:

	A member MAY belong to the same ServiceGroup more than once.

I would be happy to extend this with " e.g. 'bag' rather than a 'set' 
semantics."

How do people feel?
