Details

When using radio buttons, the first one is always selected. This is bad as it makes a choice for the user, even if its an unconcious one. Anyone wanting to use Mozilla for data-collection would spot this and not use the browser. This also happens in Netscape 6, but not in IE 5.
That only happens in standards mode. The World Wide Web Consortium hath decreed it so, and while I agree with you that they should not have done so, it is not the role of Netscape to decide whether a W3C standard should be followed. If you liked this bug, you might also enjoy bug 60205 (which is exactly the same)
thanks for pointing out the dup. I'm not sure I like the arbitrary re-definition of this behaviour, but that is a matter for Layout/HTML Form Controls, not XPToolkit anyways, so bug 60205 is the better home for this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 60205 ***
