The content model for label says

"If the element has a for attribute: Phrasing content, but with no descendant
labelable form-associated elements or label elements."

This disallows the reasonable common markup:

<label for=a><input id=a type=checkbox> Foo</label>

(Using for for compat with IE6 or some AT and nesting for increased
clickability area or for styling reasons.)
