Currently, as far as I can tell, in HTML 4 [1] and HTML 5 [2], the label element is defined as having inline content. When using the implicit form control association pattern described in the HTML 4 spec (e.g. a form control inside of the label element instead of or in addition to using the |for| attribute), this becomes a problem. Specifically, if one tries to place a textarea element inside of a label element, modern browsers will insert the textarea as a later sibling to the label in the DOM instead of as a child. This seems to be due to the fact that the textarea is a block element and that label can't contain it according to the spec.
Hmm. <textarea> is not a block-level element. It's also willing to be a child of <label> for me:
