Xapian discuss - Jun 2008 - Can someone please explain this paragraph?

At http://xapian.org/docs/intro_ir.html, near the bottom of the document 
there is a paragraph with the heading of "The progress of a query". 
In
that paragraph there is a reference to something called an RSet.  I 
can't find a definition of that term in this document. 

Perhaps someone could explain what it is and/or expand on it in the 
.html file too?

Thanks,
Jim.

RSet is definied in <http://xapian.org/docs/glossary>, but yeah, it
should be defined in that document as well. It's the set of documents
pre-decided as relevant to this query (by whatever mechanism you
choose) that is used to generate the ESet (recommended terms to expand
the query with).

I think that section needs rewriting, personally; it took me a while
to figure out what it meant.
