More precisely it's handled as having a special "position" value that
you can't override, more or less, and that position value forces
float:none and display:block and certain sizing behavior, more or less.
All of this is expressed in CSS. After that you use the CSS
renderer... On the other hand, <fieldset> itself is pretty weird in
terms of the way it renders; it doesn't use any of the standard CSS box
types. The box type it does use makes certain assumptions about the
styling of the <legend>. All that might get changed, but it only
matters for <legend> in <fieldset>. Current trunk Gecko handles
<legend> outside <fieldset> as just another block, in terms of the
renderer. How you get such a DOM is a separate issue. Firefox 3.5 and
earlier does weird things for <legend> outside <fieldset>.
