+1 on that feature request. A "bushy" form in addition to the "flat" 
form. Sometimes you want one, sometimes the other.

Also, an org folder might contain two groups: the people at that node in 
the org hierarchy, and a rollup group of all people at a subordinate 
node in the hierarchy. That one probably just consists of subgroups, no 
direct non-group Subjects.
