Description Jukka K. Korpela 2013-05-24 09:14:57 UTC 
Please add the following to 14.3.12 (The fieldset element):

legend { padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px; }

This corresponds to browser practice (tested Chrome, Firefox, IE), and it is useful for preventing letters from touching the border of the fieldset element.

Do you have a link to the tests you used for this, by any chance?
