The problem of "hover the control if the label is hovered" is simple: the label already has a reference to the control it's labeling; when an element enters hover state you at worst have to deal with one other element (plus their ancestors) entering hover state. And even that gets a bit complicated given the "ancestors" thing. The backreference, however, is a one-to-many relationship, which makes things quite complicated, or fairly slow, or both, when multiple labels label the same form control. So I would be a bit careful here. -Boris
