Description Cynthia Shelly 2011-08-03 03:05:20 UTC 
it is unclear from the spec whether it is valid to have a checkbox or radio button without a label.  It should not be valid, as these are required for accessibility.
Comment 1 Michael[tm] Smith 2011-08-04 05:13:50 UTC 
mass-move component to LC1
Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2011-08-05 11:41:53 UTC 
What if you have checkboxes in a table where each checkbox has two "labels" represented as header cells in the top row and leftmost column of the table (as in a survey)? (Same with radiobuttons.)
