An intrinsic "list" type is a bad idea, because you're not specifying
what it's a list *of*. That's what the "list" attribute is for --
read the section on "type" elements. Some of the tools do support a
"list" type, but only for backward compatibility with aetes.

Why is there no 'list' type in the sdef Common Attributes type

Intrinsics.sdef).
The type of an element, property, or parameter. The value must be
one of the primitive types: any, text, integer, real, number,
boolean, specifier, location specifier, record, date, file, point,
rectangle, or type, or the name of a class, enumeration, record-
type, or value-type defined elsewhere in the sdef. To specify a
complex type such as list of integer or number or text, use a type
element as described below.
