Re: Explicit Link Between Radio Buttons and "Question" Label?

I use fieldsets to group form elements, but not typically at that
level of granularity. I tend to use them to group sections of form
elements ('contact information', 'credit card
information', 'shipping address', for example) rather than to
bracket a single question and its answers.

Don't you think that if one designs forms w/ a different fieldset
around each 'question', the form would look very busy and cluttered
w/ fieldset boxes? I know you can adjust their appearance w/ styles,
but if you get rid of the border, fieldsets don't do any useful
grouping for sighted users.
