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.
