Roger,
There are quite a few "sufficient" HTML techniques that do not work on
iOS or even on Mac-Lion or one or other browser-At combination.
The role=group and role=radiogroup works great with
i. NVDA 2012/2013 with Firefox
ii. JAWS 14 and Google Chrome
iii. JAWS 13/14 with IE 8/9 and FF
iv. VoiceOver with Safari on Mac 10 -Lion

I thought you might wish to reference the technique I wrote about in
05/2012 in the interest of completeness.
After all it is your call.
Thanks,
Sailesh Panchang
