I have no problem with the wording you prefer, but I think I take
issue with the claim that the existing wording in 3.2.1.1 is 
incorrect.  The union of any number of sets of X is itself
a set of X; a powerset is not the union but the set of some
sets.  3.2.1.1 says that the value space of anySimpleType is
the union of 

  - all of the primitives (i.e. all of the sets of
    atomic values), and 
  - all of the sets of lists formed from atomic values

Since the union of all sets of lists and the set of all lists
are (at least in this instance) the same, and the phrase
"the set of all lists" seems not to tempt the reader into
thinking of power sets, I'm happy to adopt the change.

I'm marking this editorial because I don't think there's any real
question in the WG about what is intended.
