While I agree that use of lists, tables or definition lists is mere
abuse, a fieldset is for grouping "thematically related controls and
labels":

So a hypothetical (semantic!) form could/should look something like this
(I'm sure there are at least a million things wrong with my example -
pretend those errors aren't there):
<form action="" method="">
<fieldset><legend>The legend for the form</legend>
<fieldset><label for="name">You Name</label><input type="text"
name="name" id="name"></fieldset>
<fieldset><label for="poet">Favourite poet</label><input
type="text" id="poet" name="poet"></fieldset>
<fieldset><label for="dinosaur">Favourite dinsaur</label><input
type="text" name="dinosaur" id="dinosaur"></fieldset>
</fieldset>
</form>
My point being that fieldset could be used to wrap label and input pairs?
I always thought you had to have a group of controls (more than one
input field).
I note that in Mike's example, he using a <br /> in order to achieve a
block-level style visual. Surely that should be avoidable?

If the fieldset to contain label/input pairs is true, it would be
exciting because it would mean that the form would look reasonable in
vanilla and could maintain semantics.
