I've not seen using the SET command in this way documented anywhere so I wonder if it's intended, or something I should avoid. Am I blind and just haven't seen it?
An example, say I want to change the warming effect of a cup of coffee so it gives 10 warming for 5 minutes.
I could use 5 individual SET commands like this (not tested so don't actually know if these are valid xpaths)
Or, I could just use the SET command this way and replace that entire effect group block. I could probably use the remove and append to do the same thing, but this is one step. I think this is easier to read, and less prone to mistakes than the individual SETs and so I've done some things this way.

Code:
