hello,

i think tags such as <div> or <p> should be allowed inside <label>

i would consider it like <a>, a focusable area that is not necessarily just a
span of text

note: browsers didn't modify the parser yet to follow the spec so the following
syntax is in fact still allowed and functioning

<label>
     <div>test</div>
     <input type="text">
</label>

(tested all msies 6+, firefox, webkit based browsers)

so, spec could be changed to follow the implementations. what do you think?

I don't have an use case, but i think it's very common the usage of <div>, for
example, inside <label>, especially for form styling
