It does. Fieldset/legend assign one label to multiple controls:

Assigning multiple labels to a single control isn't generally possible as far
as I know, unless you use multiple layers of headings in tables and have a
tool that lets you find out what all the headers are (tablin can do this as a
proxy service, but I don't know of a stand-alone browser that manages it).
You can use a label inside a fieldset, which lets you have two ways of
labelling the same thing.
