Fieldset and legend are basically implementing a pre-existing Windows
design idiom, as for example supported in Visual Basic from version 2 or
earlier.  They didn't use tables, because they could place each visual
element independently (although you can't actually place a component
of a field set outside its bounds).  You are only getting this problem,
I think, because you are using tables to hack the layout.


(I don't know how MSAA based tools handle the Visual Basic equivalent.)
