Thanks for discussing the problem and for your help in solving it!  I
had noticed the GroupSet entry on the agenda, but failed to get my SIP
client installed and working before the call had finished. :(

On the plus side, I finally managed to test the composite-group solution
on our development system, and can confirm that it works as expected.  I
used the complement-with-empty-group approach in this test, but I assume
that unions (via the old Admin UI) or intersect-with-self work just as well.
