* SelectItemGroup is a subclass of {@link SelectItem} that
* identifies a set of options that will be made available as a subordinate
* "submenu" or "options list", depending upon the requirements of the
* {@link UISelectMany} or {@link UISelectOne} renderer that is actually used.
* In general, the value property of this instance will be ignored,
* and the label property of this instance will be used to label
* the submenu.
*
* Although it is feasible to incorporate {@link SelectItemGroup} instances
* in he selectItems property of this instance (thereby creating
* a data structure suitable for cascading submenus), some renderers may place
* restrictions on the level of nesting they support. For example, HTML based
* renderers that create an <select> element will typically
* render this instance as an <optgroup> element, but the
* HTML 4.01 Specification disallows nested option groups.
