Sounds much better.

Yes.

 I added "Do not use radio buttons for options with varying captions." (instead of "Don't use radio buttons for non-static lists"). But it's difficult to find an example that makes the point clear. On the other hand, "yesterday,today,tomorrow" for a time line on a daily basis versus "last month, this month, next month". 
Should we implicitly allow it (by not talking about)?
