Let's go back in time for a second since this issue was raised precisely 3 years ago : my opinion as both Selectors' editor and CSS WG co-chairman is that this issue is outside of the scope of the CSS Working Group and it's up to the markup language to state that this or that state set on the control is mirrored onto the label having a |for| attribute targeting that control. To summarize, it's IMHO an HTML5 issue. Of course, that's just me but I'll support that idea until my last drop of blood ;-) </Daniel>
