That's similar to the <label group=""> idea I posted.

I think that could be somewhat confusing using the same attribute name 
for different, but somewhat related, features.  That's why I like the 
group attribute, because then there's no chance for confusion about 
whether it takes a name or id in this context.

Also, <label> already supported, so there's fewer backwards 
compatibility issues.
