I'm being a stickler here... I don't think <radio> should be a xul widget. I don't see any wins by having it a xul widget (only bugs). Can someone convince me otherwise or can we make it invalid in a xul file?

we'll talk about this more later, but the team is pushing back on this. We want to keep the radio tag, as well as the checkbox tag to make xul easier to read and write. Places where the tags differ in required functionality from their < html:input> relatives are bugs that should be addressed separately. ccing hyatt and danm. accepting bug.
Yes, the "radio" tag in XUL should be invalid. It doesn't work. I'll go remove it.
boy do we look like fools now. what's the story, dave?
Well, you could keep it around, but it won't work right without using the HTML input content node.
Nothing like holding a conversation on a bug form. The "win" that Kathy was looking for in having a separate <radio> tag is syntactic consistency with non-html widgets. This issue wants more discussion before we choose a direction.

Well, no one's using the <radio> tag any more AND, sadly, it doesn't work. So I say the forces of backwards humility have won the day and this bug's done.
