Hi Birkir,

The short answer is that in ARIA 1.1, radio buttons are required to 
support only aria-checked, and not aria-selected [1].

I suspect you are reading from the ARIA 1.0 recommendation [2].  At that 
version of the spec, the radio role inherited its states and properties 
from both checkbox and option, and got aria-selected through option.  In 
ARIA 1.1, radio inherits only from checkbox.
