You can file an issue if you'd like to see this feature. In the
meantime, extend the Label decorator to do what you'd like. :-)

Code freeze is in around 100 minutes -- not going to make it in tonight.
There is documentation in the manual -- particularly if you're willing
to read the docbook XML currently in subversion (docbook is basically
human readable, so don't let it stop you) -- that shows how to create
plugins for the form classes, as well as how to substitute your own
classes for standard plugins. Extend the Label decorator with your own
Label decorator to do what you want.
