Use a group hint when the emphasis is more on the group than on the values in the group.

User Agent Considerations

In order to emphasize the group more than the values in the group, a user agent should display the group in a way that accomplishes that goal. For example, a user agent may choose to display the values in a group in the primary direction of reading order, such as left-to-right in English (as opposed to the secondary direction of reading order top-to-bottom).
