IIRC it doesn't work as expected for legacy browsers.

Related radio buttons in a <fieldset> work, example:
<fieldset><legend><!-- intentionally void --></legend>
<label title="world wide web">
<input type="radio" name="meta"
value="lr=lang_en|lang_de" checked="checked" />
<small> WWW </small>  
</label>
<label title="only W3C">
<input type="radio" name="meta"
value="sitesearch=w3.org&domains=w3.org" />
<small><a href="http://www.w3.org"> W3C </a></small>  
</label>
</fieldset>
That worked with Lynx and a Netscape 2.02 "mozilla 3", the
titles had of course no effect, and the <legend> needed to
be empty, otherwise Lynx would try to do something "smart".
