Re: WCAG On input with Auto radio button content update

One of the first things I would worry about would be keyboard
accessibility.

Keyboard users will typically move through the radio buttons with left,
right or up, down keystrokes. Moving focus automatically to new/updated
content after each keystroke would be a real problem.

So I think that would be a fail.
