My colleague came up with the idea of

screen
readers and messing these up would be wrong
The "for" attribute has the value of the "id" attribute of the
associated control, not the "name" attribute. Despite Internet
Explorer's inexplicable belief to the contrary, "id" and "name" are
not the same thing.
