Yes, but only by making the checkbox and radio button options equally
inaccessible to all respondents (e.g., not using a fieldset/legend).
We would never deliberately neglect accessibility standards, standard
HTML markup, and common sense to render a very basic web form
inaccessible and non-compliant with accessibility guidelines just so
all respondents are presented with the same poor experience.

We realize that the lack of support for fieldsets may affect the
viability of those few pieces of data provided by Window-Eyes users.
It is untenable for us to instead break it equally for everyone else.
Instead, we're opting to educate Window-eyes users about the issue and
promote a future fix.
