	Well I like organisation. And I found some nice correlation between the 
notion of DICOM tags and now DICOM groups...
Also later a user might want to display all Patient information, if a 
group can be access by name wouldn't it be awsome :)

	I agree this is more feature like than absolutely necessary but since 
this is not a blocking thing, I'd rather leave it here for future.
