Problem: These seem to put extraneous code into an HTML page and can *double* the labor of coding a form. Particularly if you have a large form with many checkboxes and radio buttons. Solution: Why not just require a closing tag for all input that causes the enclosed text to respond as a label? Before: <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="choice1" VALUE="Yes" ID="choice1"> <LABEL FOR="choice1"> Choice One </LABEL> After: <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="choice1" VALUE="Yes"> Choice One </INPUT> The label tag could be retained as an alternative *option*, i.e. when the label is formatted in a separate table cell from it's input.
