I don't think a file should be added to a working set just because it's opened while that working set is active. It should require a positive action on the part of the user. You also shouldn't be able to change user sets without making an explicit request to do so.

Thats what David (IIRC) didn't want. Because that means people who don't
know about them (i.e. didn't read about them or saw someone else using
them) will never know they exist. Hidden features are not good, especially
if the GUI to make them unhidden is hidden too (inside some nested menu
etc.)
