Whoops, I did not know this. Sorry.

That's the truth! I use them but I do allow for some cross-browser 
variances. They aren't a mandatory element, but they *can* be helpful, 
especially for complex forms. I think a heading would work just fine for a 
wrapping fieldset in lieu of a main legend.

Here's an example of what I hope is a pretty accessible form. It's mostly 
naked in that it has just a little basic styling. The main legend is styled 
differently than the other legends (it has multiple fieldsets used to ID 
small input groupings: http://green-beast.com/gbcf/ (also available as a 
WordPress plugin).
