The reason I use this was because I found an easy way to style forms
that included the broader compatibility for the clickability of labels
for focus with the flexibility of layout with the inclusion of a span
like:
<label for="name">
<span>First Name</span>
<input type="text" />
</label>
I use this a lot for putting the label text next to the input, instead
of stacking, and it gives easy control of this layout.
Any info on the wrapping of inputs in a label being bad would be appreciated.
