Mat,

This example, where by another method, I avoided the problem

I understand your desire to reduce the need for nesting when it comes to 
the list widget and filters,  the thing is sometimes; 

   - nesting can be avoided altogether to get the same result as in my 
   example and
   - in other cases we move the nesting inside the filter (perhaps like 
   your proposal)
   - In my example I am talking about a macro that automatically handles 
   the nesting of multiple filters (in this case you provide a flat set of 
   filters)

Of course with support perhaps such a macro could become a new widget or 
the list widget extended.

Regards
Tony
