It does not say they are OK. It just defines what happens if they are used. This is an error processing rule, since the definition of the element says (under "Content model") that the content shall be "Phrasing content, but with no descendant labelable elements unless it is the element's labeled control, and no descendant label elements." Perhaps the formulation could be better, but the intended meaning is that the content may contain at most one labelable element. The construct <label> <input type="radio" /> <input type="text" /> </label> would be rather odd, in addition to being invalid; the error processing rule means that the radio button is the labeled control and the text input control is its label!
