No.
(That is, your example is perfectly good html; just not your thinking):
<label>One<input type="text" id="1" name="1" /></label>
is perfectly good html. But
<label for="1">One</label><br />
<input type="text" id="1" name="1" />
is perfectly valid, too -- in fact, that's what the 'for' attr is for --
when the relevant input *isn't* a child of the label, <label>'s 'for' says,
well, what the <label>'s a label for. . .
