As someone who's never worked on a layout engine, I have trouble understanding how this would add much more complexity. The argument against it I saw is that the engine would have to keep track of the element of the associated input. But UAs _already_ do this to some extent—a `<label>` is almost treated as an extension of its referenced input, allowing you to click a label to tick a checkbox or radio button.

To me, this feature just seems implied from the already present behavior, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding something.
