Well I use 'th' for column headings but not in rows:

  th  |  th
-------------
  td  |  td

but not

  th  |  td 
-------------
  th  |  td

If we decide that 'th' can take the place of label in form table, I'm
fine with it. You could do this though:
<div class="form-table">
<span class="label>Name</span><span>{INPUT}</span>
</div>

Agreed. I would like to get rid of redundancy.

The form class in Fallout does that automatically. See the setLabel
function.

The question: is it too far in the game to do this? My feeling was that
with Fallout we have an 'excuse' to break things. With 0.10.x, it may be
view unfavorably.

Thanks Shaun,
