      DESCRIPTION
      -----------
      Accessibility enhancements in accordance with the following Licenensee's Software Accessibility guidelines:

      #2.2 Provide semantic information about user interface objects. When an image represents a program element, the information conveyed by the image must also be available in text.

      #2.3 Associate labels with controls, objects, icons and images. If an image is used to identify programmatic elements, the meaning of the image must be consistent throughout the application.

      Observed Behaviour:

      SUGGESTED FIX
      -------------
      1. Added the accessibility information to the checkbox and radio
         buttions, so that the state of the checkbox and radio button is
         available to the user.

      2. Added the accessible name and description to the checkbox and radio
         button.
