By the way: There is no label element in XHTML 2.0, To be precise there is <label> but its meaning is different: "The label element is used to define a label for a list. The contents of the label element represent the title of a list (or sublist)."

Specifically, how do I style a | <label> with a |for| attribute? | | Situations where this would be useful: | | 1) You want the label to have a dashed border when the associated | control is selected. | | 2) You want non-associated labels do have a different style from | associated labels, even in cases where a <label> has an incorrect |for| | attribute value. | | 3) You want all labels for a specific control or class of controls to be | styled in a specific way. | | Is a new selector required in this case? For that matter, is a new | selector needed for parent-child <label> associations? This affects both | existing HTML markup and new markup proposals. |
