CascadeSelect requires a value to bind and a collection of arbitrary objects with a nested hierarchy. optionGroupLabel is used for the text of a category and optionGroupChildren is to define the children of the category. Note that order of the optionGroupChildren matters and it should correspond to the data hierarchy.

Content of an item can be customized with the option template.

The relation between the combobox and the popup is created with aria-controls that refers to the id of the popup.
The popup list has an id that refers to the aria-controls attribute of the combobox element and uses tree as the role. Each list item has a treeitem role along with aria-label, aria-selected and aria-expanded attributes. The container element of a treenode has the group role. The aria-setsize, aria-posinset and aria-level attributes are calculated implicitly and added to each treeitem.
