<altGrp>

<altGrp> (alternation group) groups a collection of <alt> elements and possibly pointers.
Attributes (In addition to global attributes and those inherited from metadata, pointerGroup)
mode states whether the alternations gathered in this collection are exclusive or inclusive.
Datatype: (excl|incl)
Legal values are:
excl indicates that the alternation is exclusive, i.e. that at most one of the alternatives occurs.
incl indicates that the alternation is not exclusive, i.e. that one or more of the alternatives occur.
Default: excl
wScale indicates the scale used to express the value of the weights attribute value.
Datatype: (perc|real)
Legal values are:
perc indicates that the weights are expressed as percentages.
real indicates that the weights are expressed as values between 0 and 1.
Default: perc
Example 
<altGrp mode="excl">
   <alt targType="seg seg" targets="dm lt bb" weights="50 25 25"/>
   <alt targType="l l" targets="rl db" weights="50 50"/>
</altGrp>
Example 
<altGrp targType="seg l" mode="incl" wScale="perc">
   <alt targets="dm rl" weights="90 90"/>
   <alt targets="lt rl" weights="5 5"/>
   <alt targets="bb rl" weights="5 5"/>
   <alt targets="dm db" weights="10 10"/>
