Using nested "optgroup" (HTML 4.0) within a form select statement does not 
display data (select lists - options) correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a select statement using:
<form>
  <select>
    <optgroup label="blah group">
      <option>blah1a</option>
      <option>blah1b</option>
      <optgroup label="level 2">
        <option>blah2a</option>
        <option>blah2b</option>
      </optgroup>
</optgroup>
</select>
</form>
2. click on form select button
3. list is displayed incorrectly

Actual Results:  nested optgroups do not work

Expected Results:  nest optgroups to display as such
Embassy Suites
   Burlingame

   Los Angeles
      Covina   
      Downey
   Napa Valley

According to http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.6 -

"In HTML 4, all OPTGROUP elements must be specified directly within a SELECT 
element (i.e., groups may not be nested)."
