http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#radio-button-group If we follow the rules of 'radio button group', an orphan radio button and non-orphan radio button are in a same group. It makes some problems. For example, <body> <input type=radio name=group1 id=r1 checked> <script> var clone = document.getElementById('r1').cloneNode(); </script> </body> The r1 button is unchecked because the 'clone' is added to the same group. Proposal: Update the following sentence: * Either a and b have the same form owner, or they both have no form owner. ==> * Either a and b have the same form owner, or they both are in a Document subtree and have no form owner.
or maybe: * Either a and b have the same form owner, or they both are in the same Document subtree and have no form owner.
