[whatwg] required attribute in label

[Diego Perini]

This could be another way to solve the same problem:

<style>
label + input[required] + span:after { content: " * "; }
</style>
<label for="name1">Name</label>
<input id="name1" type="text" required><span> </span>

However, the above does not work on IE6 (attribute selectors).

So the id/class suggested by Chris is actually the most cross-browser
solution.
