I don't know what terminology would be more familiar to you than "extensionally"

very membership of the set. An int-defined set is the set S such that every x is
a member of S iff x has property P.

OK, normal meaning.  But then the problem is that e-sets (and le everythings pretty much) are defined extensionally and then given a label, which may or may not actually apply.  That is, the members are picked first, then the "property".  Or are you making a total change in this pattern here (it doesn't really seem so from other things you say)?
