In the prepared page at http://www.sanctuary.org/~azimuth/mozilla-bug.html,
there are two radio buttons.  This page refreshes every five seconds. Mozilla
ignores the lack of a checked directive, choosing instead to keep the selected
radio button.  This was no doubt considered a feature at one time, but it screws
with some sites, in which the lack of a selection is meaningful within the
application.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.sanctuary.org/~azimuth/mozilla-bug.html
2. Click on a radio button
3. Wait for refresh

Actual Results:  
The selected radio button continued to stay selected.

Expected Results:  
The state of all input fields (including the demonstration radio buttons) should
have been reset on refresh.
