Better how?

Note Marco is only talking about Firefox 3 and a significant selection 
of recent screen readers for GNOME and Windows, his test case is about 
individual field labels not group labels, and even there he mentions 
that it doesn't work with the most popular screen reader amongst those 
tested. LEGEND works in more user agents and AT combinations and is 
therefore more backwards compatible.
