Given:
<input id="rad" type="radio">
<label for="rad">yes</label>
1. The name is calculated based on the contents of the <label>.
2. A labelled-by/label-for relationship is exposed between the radio
button and the label.
But, in this case, there is no inconsistency between the name and the
relationship, and ATs need not ignore the result of the above. Or, are
you arguing that, generally, the relationship is not needed?
