I don't think so. Finally, we introduce a new feature here (an
additional means to control radio button grouping), which is (to be)
reflected in ODF 1.x, and ODF processors which a) do not know about ODF
1.x and/or b) do not have this feature will ignore this particular
attribute, and behave differently from what is actually specified in 1.x.

But - that's nothing new. That happens all the time in all parts of OOo.
So, that alone is not at all an argument against a new attribute which
reflects this new property.

More in a separate reply.

Ciao
Frank
