[IxDA Discuss] Are required field notations really necessarywith radio button selections?

[Bryan Minihan]

You could select an option called "none" for the user, then in your form
validation alert the user if they haven't changed it.  That would meet the
legal/regulatory need while meeting the "radio button behavior" expectations
of your users...

I've always included one preselected item among a group of radio
buttons. Doing such implies the "required" status of the grouping.
The only exception would be an instance where we cannot legally
provide that option by default; the user must opt-in.
