you are correct as long as a 'for' attribute is included... i was not
clear, but what i was referring to was using the <label> to wrap both
the form element and its text without the 'for' attribute...
and somewhat related, IE/win does not dig using an <img> within a
<label>, it just won't work properly...

that was my initial point, just poorly worded...
another note about <label> is that many people will often use them on
<select>s, which in IE, has the unfortunate tendency to reset the
value to its initial value...
i have found through testing that this can be a big problem for
accessibility when users are tabbing through forms...
so, there some nearly useful info to make up for my not-so-clear post
from earlier...
damn karma...
