There is a point, but it's a weak one: you want it to unfold in the same menu
as you select the option. So, if you unfold the sub-options in a separate
sub-menu, you better use [ ] (or just blank), as this will allow you to
enter the sub-menu, and see the unfold take place inside the same menu.
IMHO, I prefer < >, but newbies probably prefer [ ], as it is less abstract.
Provided there is agreement, and we go with < >, it would mean a slight
change to Host side USB, like this (note new USB Core Config sub-menu):
--- Support for Host-side USB
[ ] USB Core Config --->
[ ] USB Host Controller Drivers --->
--- NOTE: USB_STORAGE needs SCSI, and 'SCSI disk support' may
--- also be needed; see USB_STORAGE Help for more information
< > USB Mass Storage support --->
[ ] The shared table of common (or usual) storage devices
[ ] USB Monitor
< > USS720 parport driver
< > USB Serial Converter support --->
< > USB DSL modem support --->
[ ] USB Device Class drivers --->
[ ] USB Imaging devices --->
[ ] USB Miscellaneous drivers --->
Thanks!
