`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:

`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 mode=incl wscale=perc targType='seg l'>
      <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'>
      <alt targets='lt db' weights='45 90'>
