The behavior of radio buttons is pretty complicated, has a number of legacy quirks to it, is pretty much algorithmically slow by design, and differs in different browsers (the above qualities just describe the parts that different browsers actually agree on). > (I suppose it's possible that it's handled badly, but then that just > means that radio buttons themselves aren't implemented well and have > an issue that needs fixing. Again, haven't tested anything.) I don't think the interoperable parts of radio button behavior, even the crappy ones, can be changed without breaking sites. That doesn't mean we should copy them over wholesale, necessarily. -Boris
