[whatwg] Label question

[Menno van Slooten]

It it's *allowed*, I guess. But it's not intended.

Quote:


for = idref [CS]
This attribute explicitly associates the label being defined with 
another control. When present, the value of this attribute must be the 
same as the value of the id attribute of *some other control* in the 
same document.

Label elements are *not* controls.
