Actually I can see what you mean on a sample I have here (attached). Sets in xdmf identifying some portion of the geometry/topology of another mesh so that you can add arbitrary attributes to that subset without affecting the whole thing. As you've surmised in practice the VTK reader just makes a new unstructured grid for the subset. The subset block has has very little relationship to the whole that it was extracted from. (Supposed we could have a not set complement and then you could get at it.)
I think what you want is a plain old collection instead. See the attached example (xmf portion only, the h5 part is to big for email but you can find it in the VTK/ParaView regression test data suite). hth David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.
