I've an internal CMS that I use for doing input and data entry for a few

input type="radio" name="radio1" value="Edit">Edit   
input type="radio" name="radio1" value="Add new">Add New  
input type="radio" name="radio1" value="Delete"> Delete

..and in none of my numerous browsers is there a 'default' marked by
those browsers. This makes me think none of the UAs pay attention to the
rule you stated.


I used to do the same thing, not specifying which is initially checked,
until I ran into some problems, but it was a very long time ago. It may
be safer now.

But that is relying on an undefined behavior, usually a bad thing with
computers, I remember the old segmented memory wrap around hack that
programmers used that broke when the 286 came around... Will's got a
point, what if a browser that doesn't follow the current convention
becomes popular?
