When you tab onto the radio button group in IE, you can move back and forth 
through the group with the up and down arrows on your keyboard. It's 
probably best to leave this functionality as it is, otherwise you're 
messing with the default behaviour of the browser, which is bad - I'm sure 
others on the list could give you ample reasons why :)
