Label element 'for' attribute question

[Eli Cochran]

I think that the way to handle this is not with a label tag at all but  
the <fieldset> and <legend> tags which are a standard way to group  
form elements together.

There are some standard styles applied to these elements which should  
be overridden by our css-reset.
