  We advance a novel perspective of the entanglement issue that appeals to the
Schlienz-Mahler measure [Phys. Rev. A 52, 4396 (1995)]. Related to it, we
propose an criterium based on the consideration of convex subsets of quantum
states. This criterium generalizes a property of product states to convex
subsets (of the set of quantum-states) that is able to uncover a new
geometrical property of the separability property.
