Is that the [default data provider] section? Much of what it says is beyond 
my understanding, but there is a note saying trees cannot be represented 
that way:

[[[
Note: The table-based default data provider cannot represent a tree.

So <datagrid> does not currently solve the heriarchical tables being 
discussed in this thread unless it is populated via 
<select>+<optgroup>+<option> or via the DOM data provider?
