UAAG does not require explicit or implicit labeling of form controls. Nor
does the HTML 4.01 specification [1].
And we're not disputing that, as it's squarely a WCAG issue at that point.
UAAG requires that the user agent:
1) provide a content focus for enabled elements (9.1 Priority 1)
2) Allow the user to move the content focus to any enabled element (9.3
Priority 1)
3) Highlight enabled elements according to the granularity specified in
the
format. (10.2 Priority 1)
HTML 4.01 provides a mechanism for explicit or implicit association between
form control and associated labels. Each user agent has a default mechanism
for rendering and/or indicating the focus of an enabled element. Authors may
affect that rendering through the use of CSS.
However, once a form control is labelled (implicitly or explicitly) does
UAAG guideline 7 apply? Following OS conventions?
