Cool. That's easy then. :)

I do have a follow up question. Given that same example:

We are, I believe, telling user agents to:

1. Calculate the name of the label from contents

2. Expose an accessible labelled-by/label-for pair between the radio
   button and label

and then telling ATs to ignore the result of the above.

If the AT should ignore it, wouldn't it make more sense -- and be more
performant -- for the user agents to not do the above two items?
