[publican-list] "publican create --help" output seems inconsistent

  (i apologize for this rapid collection of complaints/observations,
but i was asked if i could give a short tutorial on publican so i'm
going thru the docs and help info carefully just to check for gotchas.
in short, i am not *trying* to be annoying -- i am merely succeeding.)

$ publican create --help
create
    Create a new Book|Set|Article

	Options:
        --name=<NAME>             The name of the Book|Article|Set|Brand
        --version=<VERSION>       The version of the product
        --edition=<EDITION>       The edition of the Book|Article|Set
        --product=<PRODUCT>       The name of the product
        --brand=<BRAND>           The brand to use
        --lang=<LANG>             The language the XML will be written in
        --type=<TYPE>             The type (Book|Article|Set)
$

  why does the intro line refer to "Book|Set|Article", while the
"--name" line additionally refers to the possible creation of a
"Brand" as well?  should those two sets not be identical?  oh, and the
"--type" and "--edition" lines go back to *not* mentioning a "Brand."
