The example file does not use any technique to associate a label with the
group of checkboxes (re SC 1.3.1). So would it fail level 1?

Other than using fieldset and legend, is there any way to create labels that
can be "programmatically determined" to be associated with a group of 
checkboxes?

Cheers,
