Agreed. Putting them after *visually* and leaving them before in source order, and as part of the label can be really useful - its semantically meaningful, can be emphasized (using <label>.... <em> </em></label>) as shown in the second example on that page is useful. You could easily use the same technique to emphasize the text "required" instead of an asterisk.
Yes, I agree, doing both is probably a better option as the asterisks has become a standard flag for marking required fields visually. It's too hard to go back now. I'm a minimalist, so I'd just use the fieldset, but I think your solution offers better overall usability (and accessibility).
