Hi Matt,
I'm pretty sure I have also seen folks use multiple invalid values.
[Used for creating groups of related values.]
E.g.:
*Select Instrument*
**Strings**
- Violin
- Viola
**Woodwinds**
- Oboe
- Bassoon
**Brass**
- Trumpet
- Euphonium
Yes, this would probably be better structured as a set of
paired/linked controls, (Select 'Instrument Family' -> then
Select 'Instrument'), but sometimes you see it done this way.
Country lists broken with headers by region - that kind of thing.
