Re: JAWS reading disabled radio button state incorrectly

If you add a disabled attribute to a radio button in a set, the radio
button should not be navigable with the keyboard.
So, by disabling all radio buttons in a set (except the one that is
selected) you are technically prevent the user from being able to
select any other radio button in the set.
Maybe Jaws is overriding this to ensure the user has access to other
radio buttons, or at least the design looks problematic to me (at a
glance).
