+ <p>The <code><a href="#label">label</a></code> represents a caption in a

+ control, known as the <code><a href="#label">label</a></code> element's

+ form-associated element</a> in the same <code>Document</code> as the
+ <code><a href="#label">label</a></code> element. If the attribute is
+ specified and there is an element in the <code>Document</code> whose ID is
+ equal to the value of the <code title=attr-label-for><a
+ href="#for">for</a></code> attribute, and the first such element is a <a
+ href="#labelable" title=category-label>labelable form-associated
