Hello, I was assigned the following test cases to review: * <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/tests/test122.html>INPUT element LABEL, TYPE of "password", should be positioned close to control. * <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/tests/test123.html>INPUT element LABEL, TYPE of "checkbox", should be positioned close to control. * <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/tests/test124.html>INPUT element LABEL, TYPE of "file", should be positioned close to control. * <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/tests/test125.html>INPUT element LABEL, TYPE of "radio", should be positioned close to control. * <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/tests/test96.html>TEXTAREA control LABELs should be positioned close to control. These are related to WCAG 1.0 Checkpoint 10.2. Currently, the related technique is considered a "fallback technique" [1] in HTML Techniques. Plus, positioning shouldn't matter if labels are explicitly associated with controls. Therefore, I don't think we need the technique except to explain the rationale for deprecating it to support the transition from WCAG 1.0 to WCAG 2.0. I propose we delete all 5 of these tests. --wendy [1] <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-HTML-TECHS/#formlabel-position>
