Sorry I was not clearer. The multiple choice resolves to a radio group,
which makes sense since you can only pick one. The multiple answer resolves
to a checkbox group because you can pick multiples. I think that server side
only the NA gets saved when that is added to the MC and is selected by the
user, which makes sense as well. But to the user it looks odd to have a
choice that in her mind should be cancelling in the UI others not doing so.
All am proposing is to instrument client side the MC + NA so that this
happens (selecting an NA unselects the other choices in the group/selecting
one of the choices unselects the NA).

Thanks.

A question on process - as I am going through the item types I will propose
a set of possibilities to this group. The feedback I have gotten this far
has been very helpful, and I hope this works for you all and is not
spamming.
