Hi,
No, that's not old fashioned, it's quite the opposite - it's designing
for the future. It's designing for the wide range of user needs (rather
than ones own graphic design sensibilities), which is still a new concept
for many Web designers.

Of course it's valid - the LABEL element can contain other inline elements,
which BUTTON is.

Depends on AT support (whether or not a screenreader would actually be able to

Sorry, I thought we were discussing labels for form input boxes (not just
one-box input search forms).
However, generally speaking, making assumptions about accessibility based
on the visual positioning of elements "in a logical common place used by
most other sites" is not a good idea.

You could label the field as "search" and the button as "go" perhaps.
I'm guessing you don't want to label the search field because the submit
would also be labeled search?

Hi,
Yes, quite often accessibility features for people with disabilities
increase accessibility for everyone and, hence, "usability".
The clickability of label/field makes forms more accessible for people

The labels are also clickable to focus on their respective fields so I
