           Summary: Use control's attribute to drive keyboard focus when

  Target Milestone: ---

Even though radio buttons allow selections using arrow up/down, in pages with
form controls that host radio button controls between edit fields or combo
boxes, keyboard navigation is murky and ill advised. User must tab to the first
radio control to start navigating which becomes impossible when there are combo
boxes (or edit fields) before and after the radio button control.
Suggested Use - <select...nextbind="true"</select> that binds the combo box
control with the subsequent radio button control such that the next tabstop
from combo box lands in the radio control. Furthermore, it informs assistive
technologies of an impending radio list and allow sighted keyboard only users
to tab into the radio control.
