 Replying to [ticket:28858 joedolson]:
 > 2) Focus is being manipulated so that radio buttons can only be
 navigated when fieldset is focused, but the fieldset can't receive focus
 from the keyboard. Patch adds `tabindex='-1'` so that the fieldset can
 receive focus.
 >
 > 4) For sighted keyboard users, navigating the language list does not
 trigger scrolling in the language container. This means that any user who
 can't use a mouse to navigate the list will not be able to select their
 language if it's outside the default visible options. Needs: trigger
 scrolling one keypress. And I'm not sure how to do that.
 After some discussion, we might well switch back to a regular `select`
 element to avoid these issues. See my latest patch on #28577. It'd be good
 to get a11y feedback on it too.
