 Here is the automatically-produced version:

The placement is not as good as in your version, in particular I probably
should ensure that (1) is not partially clipped. And I also wonder if it
wouldn't be better to put the footnotes to the right, rather than to the
left, to avoid overwriting the labels -- but it could make it less clear
which window do they refer to.

 OTOH this version does have nice anti-aliased circles (I had to use
anti-aliasing for them as otherwise they looked really bad at such small
size) :-) More importantly, it also handles radio buttons correctly as you
can see. And, although you can't see it, it also measures HTML properly so
there is no risk of it being cut off by the screen size. IOW I solved the
bugs 1 and 2. But the other questions of
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lmi/2009-02/msg00027.html still remain
actual.
