Comment #8 on issue 859 by [email protected]: Additional listener attributes to differentiate suite/test setup/teardown from other keywords.
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=859
Your point in comment 5 is valid. Since we don't have an explicit end_suite method, the only way to properly determine the end of setp is the type. If the type is "setup" only for the top-level keyword then we wouldnt be able to find out when setup finishes and when the test begins
I haven't tested this yet. I will do that sometime this week
