Why not use a fieldset of checkboxes as answers an the legend of the fieldset be the question?

Subject: [WebAIM] Group items with tabindex that have focusable children.

Hello,

My group has a standard procedure a div containing a set of check boxes and assigning a role="group" too this div.

This seems to work OK with some browser combinations and screen readers in that it reads the question and list of answers and then one can tab through the answers. But this feels wrong to me.

Does this violate a specific principle or policy?
Thanks,

Jonathan
