This is bound to be troublesome. The W3C says there must be a default
'checked' button in any radio button "group". Granted, most browsers let
you get away without this, but some will simply choose one for you if
you neglect to make a default. If you DO have a default, it should be
easy enough to revert the selection to the default via javascript.
