Semantics
A checkable menuitem in a set of elements with the same role, only one of which can be checked at a time.
Additional info from the ARIA specification
Authors MUST ensure elements with role menuitemradio are accessibility children of an element with role menu, menubar, or an element with role group that is an accessibility child of an element with role menu or menubar.
Authors SHOULD enforce that only one menuitemradio in a group can be checked at the same time. When one item in the group is checked, the previously checked item becomes unchecked (its aria-checked attribute becomes false).
In order to identify that they are related widgets, authors MUST ensure that menu item radios are accessibility descendants of an element with role menu or menubar.
If a menu or menubar contains more than one group of menuitemradio elements, or if the menu contains one group and other, unrelated menu items, authors SHOULD contain each set of related menuitemradio elements in an element using the group role. Authors MAY also delimit the group from other menu items with an element using the separator role, or an element with an equivalent role from the native markup language.
