RE: REPOST - and why using 'label' with checkboxes

It extends the clickability of a checkbox. If you wrap the text following a 
checkbox with the <.label><./label>, clicking on the text will set the 
checkbox as well. It helps with accessibility, if the person can't place 
the cursor right on the box, or if the font for the box is rather small. 
And it's valid HTML, so it's validate.
