Response from the Working Group
================================
Thank you for this suggestion. We are adding the following paragraph
to the description of H44:

An additional benefit of this technique is a larger clickable area for
the control, since clicking on the label or the control will activate
the control. This can be helpful for users with impaired motor
control.
