As I think someone else pointed out, this is already disallowed by HTML4.

WF2 says:

# For labels pointing (via for) to elements that are not form controls
#   The attribute must be ignored. It will appear in the DOM (including as
#   the value of htmlFor) but the control DOM attribute must return null and
#   activating the label must not send focus to the associated element.
