What happens if the delegated set fails, and the previous values need
to be restored?
  With the current situation, that's not going to be qa problem.

But if you let a "smaller" SET be acted upon while the delegated
part of a previous SET is still outstanding, the two could potentially
be in conflict.

For exanmple, if the first request created a row in a table (plus some
other stuff), and the second request changed a value from that row.
If the first request fails, then the second can't be acted on.
