Thanks for that, I will have to learn more about the standard later! As far as information stored in the format I am a clueless end user without any understand of its limitations. However there are other means.

They *could* allow me to assign 'weight' to certain collections and/or exclude books found in other collections and/or letting me fake it through some other means. It is obvious they don't want to encourage excessive compatibility with Calibre but the UI could compensate. Its not an ideal end game but would be an acceptable workaround.
