I oppose this change. This is a common authoring practice; why force this to be invalid? For example:

[checkbox] I agree to the [terms of service] 

Any assistive technology or engine that does not adequately support this pattern needs to be updated. The content pattern will stand whether or not we make it invalid, so doing so is pointless.
