I assume you are using Pivot 1.4? The problem is that the Label instances are
not direct descendants of the Form.Section. In Pivot 1.4 and earlier, this
throws an exception. In Pivot 1.5+, an exception is not thrown, but you still
won't see the labels attached to your Label elements - forms only recognize
labels attached to section children.
Also, a Border can only have one content element. You'll need to nest a layout
container in the Border instance if you want to display multiple child elements.
