We already have features for indicating <legend>-like semantics without popular
user agents applying default styles in the form of ARIA:
<fieldset aria-labelledby="credentials-legend">
<p>Please provide your <span id="credentials-legend">credentials</p>
<input type="text" name="username" />
<input type="password" name="password" />
</div>
Unlike "ilegend" this already has some support in current software.
