Taking to the dev list:
Set currently is:
SET ::= "^" STRING ":" ATOM | ARRAY
which seems to be the subset needed for setting JCR property values.
Shouldn't we be able to overwrite nodes as well?

This is as intended: it is modeled after the JCR API: set is for setting
property values and add is for adding properties and nodes. Add should
fail if a property or node exists already.
Yes. But just because the JCR API doesn't have "set" for nodes doesn't
mean it's not a useful operation; and if we want to define a data format
that is not specific to JCR remoting then the restriction doesn't seem
to make sense.
Internally, SET can always be implemented as atomic variant of
REMOVE-then-ADD.
