What do you base this statement on? It clearly isn't since current user agents that associate labels with fields using LABEL and implicit nesting, or, more reliably, FOR and ID, and labels with fieldsets using LEGEND and FIELDSET, cannot reliably associate "Gender" with its radio button set, or "Male" with its input or "Female" with its input. "Looking okay" is not the same as being backwards compatible. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
