The text that Windows places near check boxes and radio buttons corresponds to INPUT[value], not to LABEL. Internet Explorer redirects focus from labels to obey HTML 4; according to HTML 5, it should stop. Should it really? And what should happen with labels on HTML 4 pages? The user experience will be inconsistent. Chris

For checkboxes and radio buttons, the text that Windows places near the interactive widget both focuses and activates the control; in the case of text fields, the text is static and has no behavior.
