So when <label> is used, two thirds of the time for="" was present. That 
matches what I find.

But I was interested in a different point:

* In my professional experience, <label for> is not "very widely used in 
reality" compared to how often labelling text does not use it.
* Sites I have handed over to clients with correct <label for> sometimes get 
broken by them later on [2]. (When <label> is present with a for="" 
attribute it can still be broken.)
* In my everyday browsing I rarely find clickable labels (<label for>). I 
commonly find unclickable labels (either <td> or not marked up at all).

As I don't have figures for this, feel free to be skeptical. Your study, 
although very useful, doesn't have numbers for this particular subject.
