SUMO uses partitions http://sigma.ontologyportal.org:8080/sigma/Browse.jsp?kb=SUMO&lang=EnglishLanguage&flang=SUO-KIF&term=partition
it feels right we'd have a partition link (which is just a shorthand for exclusion * completeness as Ben said).
As mentioned earlier, there are several problems with this format. One is the "oops I forgot to mention xyz in the list" or "gosh I should have left out pqr" and this becomes a big problem: you have to delete the PartitionLink, delete the ListLink, create a new list and partition. In the meanwhile, some other subsystem might be holding a handle to the old, now-wrong PartitionLink, and there is no effective way of announcing "hey stop using that old thing, get my new thing now".
This is a recurrent problem, but I think that if a partition turns out to be false then its TV can be brought down, and a new partitioning fact can be created with a high TV.
