Hmm, yes. This is platform-dependent, though. Added:

  <p>The <code>label</code> element's exact default behaviour must
  match the platform's label behaviour. For example. on platforms
  where clicking a checkbox label checks the checkbox, clicking a
  <code>label</code> element must cause a <code>click</code> event to
  be synthesised and fired at the checkbox.</p>
