	The "restriction" element defines a [[Restriction Tag Expression]] for the portal that further limits the set of things/picks that are available for selection. This tag expression is compared against all picks that already exist within the container. Any object that exists within the restricted list is precluded from being selected again, resulting in it being omitted from the list of available choices. The complete list of attributes for this element is below.
