A system of (constructive) set theory without the axiom of extensionality is
investigated in my paper 'The Axiom of Choice and the Law of Excluded Middle
in Weak Set Theories", Mathematical Logic Quarterly, 54, no. 2, 2008. It may
also be accessed on my website.

> Here are merits of such a set theory:
> 1. This would be a set theory with "multiple universes of discourse",
> where the "unlimited"
> set abstraction {x :F(x)} could be treated as the set abstraction {x in U
> : F(x)}, limited by a universe of discourse on which we are focused (as
> many authors, I am using the reserved word "in" as a denotation of the
> membership relationship in plain text).
> 2. The entities studied by such a theory would be multi-identity. This
> would be a theory of multi-sets, where the modifier "multi-" refers not
> only to the elements of a set which may encounter in many copies
> (replicas), but also to the set itself - it is allowed to also be present
> in many copies. Also, the modifier "multi-" applies to the atoms
> (urelements) - they can also be present in multiple copies.
