Thank you Joe. I'd like to point out two things.
1. I think mod_groups needs to be changed on server side, because 'required' groups can be nested. 2. As Mike also pointed out, some recommendation / standadization is needed to clarify specification, for example, how slashes within names of groups should be escaped and something like that.
