On the note of <legend> styling, currently a legend-in-fieldset isn't handled by the standard CSS renderer *at all* in FF, last I heard
More precisely it's handled as having a special "position" value that you can't override, more or less, and that position value forces float:none and display:block and certain sizing behavior, more or less. All of this is expressed in CSS. After that you use the CSS renderer... On the other hand, <fieldset> itself is pretty weird in terms of the way it renders; it doesn't use any of the standard CSS box types. The box type it does use makes certain assumptions about the styling of the <legend>. All that might get changed, but it only matters for <legend> in <fieldset>. Current trunk Gecko handles <legend> outside <fieldset> as just another block, in terms of the renderer. How you get such a DOM is a separate issue. Firefox 3.5 and earlier does weird things for <legend> outside <fieldset>.
