The <legend> is an unnecessary tag, it just clutters the tag namespace and
makes it harder learn HTML.
It is only used in <fieldset> so instead of having a separate tag, it should be
an attribute of fieldset.
Having legend as an attribute of fieldset instead of as a separate take makes
more sense, makes learning HTML easier, removes unnecessary tags that clutter,
provides a cleaner DOM and allows autocompletion.
It also makes it more semantically correct because it is paired explicitly with
the fieldset tag.
Current markup:
<fieldset>
<legend>Information</legend>
Lorem ipsum...
</fieldset>
Proposed markup:
<fieldset legend="Information">
Lorem ipsum...
</fieldset>
