Remember that the same appearance needs to work for horizontal lines of 
radio buttons, not just vertical lines. For example:

    Weeks start on: ( ) Sunday  (*) Monday

So don't get too excited about drawing visual links between the radio 
buttons. :-)

It also needs to work for two-dimensional arrays of radio buttons. For 
example, the four font rendering radio buttons that have a 2*2 layout 
in the Font Preferences window. (That particular example is crack, but 
the layout itself is legitimate.)
