radiobuttons are broken by design: initialization, default rendering,
synchronization over pages (we have a parent child model for which
support seem to differ per viewer/version) ... it's hard to support all
the features (default rendering + appearances and such)
maybe i should implement it from scratch and only support the real
minimal set of options (so that what is not supported can also not fail)
i really spent a lot of time on this and once you get 'this' working,
some side effect 'there' pops up (i probably made a remark in the source
someplace but for instance some widgets have the build in default
appeances that then depend on for instance dingbats overload user
appeances) .. i think in the end one should maybe not implement any
owhat the 'standard' permits and just emulate what acrobat does, and
exactly that (it's the only browser that does them anyway)
(the static part of pdf is ok, in the dynamic part is there is much
crap, and i'm not even talking of dependencies on javascript or flash)
