1. I think lists are global in Grouper.  If you define a list, any group can 
use it (right??)  I didn't think you needed a type on the group

2. Types are only for attribute fields (I thought)

3. You use lists even if you don't define them, the default list is the 
"members" list.  You don't care about this, you just know you don't want 
multiple, that is how the attribute assignment will be.  It will be useful in 
privileges, and if someone wants to use it for plain old attributes they will 
be able to.  If you don't need it, pretend like it isn't there, just like the 
"members" list

Thanks,
