From a maintainability and organization perspective what should a value attribute contain? a number representing a word:

<label><input type="radio" name="order" value="1">Masculino</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="order" value="2">Feminino</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="loja" value="1">Ricardo Eletro</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="loja" value="2">Submarino</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="loja" value="3">Casas Bahia</label>

or content ready to be inserted / searched in the database for example:

<label><input type="radio" name="order" value="Masculino">Masculino</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="order" value="Feminino">Feminino</label>
<option value="MaisCaroPrimeiro">Mais caro Primeiro</option>
<label><input type="radio" name="loja" value="RicardoEletro">Ricardo Eletro</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="loja" value="Submarino">Submarino</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="loja" value="CasasBahia">Casas Bahia</label>

When and where should the conversion be made to the actual value?

In the case of the "radio", the value determines the value of the response ... It can be either 1.2 / Male, Female / M, F. It depends on how you will treat it later.

The value is the information that will be sent to the server, can be used 1, 2, f, m, masculino, feminino , whatever. Because it is you who will receive this information and treat the use of it. In W3S I found this example using text input that should clarify your question a bit.

But in the end when the server receives the response of the button marked it will receive the value indicated in the attribute value , simple as well.
