984+ * All inputs controlled by {@link ngModel ngModel} (including those of type `radio`) will use the
985+ * value of their `name` attribute to determine the property under which their
986+ * {@link ngModel.NgModelController NgModelController} will be published on the parent
987+ * {@link form.FormController FormController}. Thus, if you use the same `name` for multiple
988+ * inputs of a form (e.g. a group of radio inputs), only _one_ `NgModelController` will be
989+ * published on the parent `FormController` under that name. The rest of the controllers will
990+ * continue to work as expected, but you won't be able to access them as properties on the parent
991+ * `FormController`.

995+ * In plain HTML forms, the `name` attribute is used to identify groups of radio inputs, so

997+ * inputs in the same group.
