Checked in as WHATWG revision r7910.
Check-in comment: Make :indeterminate match <input type=radio> elements when there's no checked button in the group

Comment 2 Mounir Lamouri 2013-06-20 15:17:25 UTC 
Two edge case scenario:
- if the radio button isn't in a group (ie. @name isn't set)?
- if the radio button is in a group but there is no other radio button?

Should :indeterminate apply in both cases? or only in the second?
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-07-13 15:06:42 UTC 
Mounir: All radio buttons are in a group, but if they have no name attribute their group only contains them. So an unchecked radio button with no name="" attribute is :indeterminate, yes. Same with the case of a radio button with a name="" attribute and no other radio buttons in the group. Basically the cases are the same (group with one element).

If you'd like this changed, feel free to reopen the bug.
