Yes, I left out something important:  the quantification applies
to some specific *property* P(x) of elements of the set, not to
the existence itself.  I should have written:

   Prop(X)  is associated with   Ex(x \in Set(X) : P(x))

(That's what happens when quickly scribbled notes are transferred
to a more formal document such as a posting.  Sorry.)

Nate explained it more clearly in his section 1.1 "Logical Semantics".
