To be made accessible, aria-activedescendant should be used on material-radio-group communicating the ID of the currently selected radio button. This attribute makes the control operable in NVDA without needing role="application" on a wrapping <div>.

Known issue with role="radiogroup" in JAWS: forms mode must be manually entered by the screen reader user. http://accessibleculture.org/articles/2012/09/aria-widgets-and-focus-forms-mode-support/
