So a small group of large objects and a large group of small objects are
xod-collectives, but not a s.g. of s.o. or a l.g. of l.o.? Of what
utility is such a notion?

Or do you mean that it *essentially* (i.e. non-accidentally) shares none
of its properties? If so, how is it distinct from a mathematical set?
