Good morning,
I would recommend hiding the legend off screen so that it can be
recognized by the greatest range of ATs.
HTH,
Everett

The default styling is easy to override with a css-reset. You could
even hide the legend, although I don't know what this would do for
the screen reader.

Everett thanks for the suggestion.
Sadly, most browsers, from what I remember, like to add stupid
styling to the frameset / legend so it will take some CSS work to
make this look the way you want it to.
That's a good point. Maybe Jacob knows how easy it is to change the
styling of the fieldset/legend combination.
