I use the bus lines in my schematics. To make a long story short:

1. The bus line is purely graphical; no hidden meaning.
2. Nets are used in the component symbol to select VCC:GND pins. You can 
override them in the schematic.
3. You want to use netname with your data bus. This will connect across 
multiple schematics. My current project uses 8 schematics and works 
perfectly as far as I can tell.

If you have multiple grounds and voltages on a schematic you use the NET 
attribute to override the default VCC:GND.
