Not necessarily. The for="..." attribute could be made optional, so that the 
default association is to associate the <summary> attribute with the next 
sibling element.

(I wonder why the association between <label> elements and input fields has 
not been defined this way. It's too late now, but things aren't too late for 
<details>.)

Does it? One might say the same about <label> and input fields, but people 
want to put them into tables, and the same might apply to <summary> and 
<details>.
