Agreed. The contradiction is a mistake. The example was just added a couple days ago, but I believe the intention is to define setsize on the set instead of redundantly on every item. This may have previously been required due to an implementation detail (easier for the AT to check all properties on current node) but it seems like that's something that can be abstracted by the browser. I've raised the issue (#396). Thanks for catching my mistake.
