I don't have an use case, but i think it's very common the usage of <div>, for example, inside <label>, especially for form styling 94929 1 surkov.alexander 2013-10-18 11:51:02 +0000 people put controls under label to link control and label together (in replace of @for attribute usage), it seems to be a general pattern 94931 2 xn--mlform-iua 2013-10-18 13:40:06 +0000 There is one important detail: Currently the spec says about <label>: ”Contexts in which this element can be used: Where phrasing content is expected.” But if block content is allowed as children of <label>, there would have to be a prohibition on nesting <p> elements: Contexts in which this element can be used: Where phrasing content is expected, EXCEPT that when <label> is a child of <p>, then there can be no <p> element children of the <label> element. 94939 3 giorgio.liscio 2013-10-18 17:00:01 +0000 @Leif Halvard Silli I think it can be considered "transparent content" as spec says about the anchor tag > Transparent, but there must be no interactive content descendant. http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/elements.html#transparent 94940 4 xn--mlform-iua 2013-10-18 17:17:31 +0000 (In reply to Giorgio from comment #3) > @Leif Halvard Silli > > I think it can be considered "transparent content" That sounds like the way to go. 126177 5 travil 2016-04-26 22:03:23 +0000 HTML5.1 Bugzilla Bug Triage: Moved to Github issue: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/266 To file additional issues please use the W3C HTML5 Issue tracker: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new Thanks!
