Roger,
For grouping fields, certainly fieldset-legend is generally the way to go.
However, using role=group / role=radiogroup works fairly too and can
be relied upon when the page design makes it challenging to use
fieldset/legend.
Both methods can be compared on the sample page linked from
http://www.deque.com/aria-group-viable-alternative-fieldset-legend
Thanks,
Sailesh Panchang
