Overnight thinking:

If BINDINGS are allowed in groups, this just works out.

The confusion point of

BINDINGS ( ?x ) { ... }
BINDINGS ( ?x ) { ... }

is probably the empty (multi) set as I'd guess the normal writer is 
going to write two different (no value in common) sets.  The join of 
different values for ?x being empty.

BINDINGS ( ?x ?y ) { ... }
BINDINGS ( ?x ?z ) { ... }

is chaotic but explainable, maybe even sensible.
