Hi, Earl,
David Bolter created a simple test case using posinset and setsize when we
were doing some design work for Dojo radios. It is available here:
http://david.atrc.utoronto.ca/aria/radios/posinset.xhtml. It is created
in XTHML so the properties are added directly in the markup and will only
render in browsers that support content-type of application/xhtml+xml.
And, posinset and setsize are only supported in Firefox 3 builds. We were
looking at posinset and setsize to mimic the browser behavior of
indicating the count of radio buttons which are grouped with the same
name. This was not a complete radio button example - the full
functionality of the radio buttons are not complete. I think JAWS 8.0
handled this fairly well.
