If all the other places are using a space, that space should probably be
removed and then CSS used to apply that style across the board, since we are
trying to provide consistent spacing between the radio button and the text.
After all, what happens when we decide that we want no space or a wider space?
The downfall of using the hard-coded space is the width of your space is
hard-coded too. No matter how many spaces are added to the HTML, only that one
space will appear on the page. I think CSS provides the most flexibility and is
a better practice in general.

While I'm having trouble finding an authoritative source to link to that says
not to use spaces for display purposes in HTML, I've been told this in classes
and by other programmers as well. Admittedly, it's a fairly trivial localized
display issue, but I think that's how widespread inconsistencies start.
