 From looking at about eight thousand pages (details on the index page), 
label@for was found on 260 pages (3.4%), and td@headers on 4 (of which 3 
were from the same site).

(There's also some '<script FOR=navButton ...>', '<script ... 
for="window" ...>', '<META NAME=description CONTENT=Comprehensive online 
investor information resource for tracking UK stock market ...', etc. 
script@for (along with script@event and table@datapagesize) is actually 
allowed by the HTML4 DTDs (and the validator), but with the comment 
"reserved for possible future use".)
