<textarea> doesn't have activation behavior. So if I have:
<label><textarea></textarea></label>
and I click the textarea, then the <label> will be activated unless we
add some sort of special-case for this.

<a> has activation behavior (if it has an href and so forth). So the
situation is totally different.
