In non-Web GUIs, labels are only clickable for checkboxes and 
radiobuttons.* It would be nice if exactly the same was true for 
HTML+WF2, otherwise people would end up wasting time clicking listbox 
etc labels in native apps and wondering why nothing was happening.

* And disclosure triangles, but they're not in HTML or WF2.
