Fair enough.  However, my pocket guide says <label> isn't supported by 
Navigator 4, IE 3, nor Opera 3, if that matters to anyone.

Sometimes they completely choke on unknown tags, too.  Or sometimes in 
the process of ignoring them, they swallow up the text contained within 
them.  But I agree that this may be such a small segment of browsers 
that it's probably OK.
