This really is a rhetorical question born of frustration, but why is the styling of legends and fieldsets so bad across browsers?

Why can't you, visually, place the legend wherever you want? Even just being able to place it above the fieldset without overlaps and having the legend sit halfway on and halfway off the fieldset "background" would be nice!

Is there any technical reason why this can't be implemented by browsers? It would certainly help in producing accessible forms if we didn't have to say, "we can use legend and be properly accessible, or we can use heading and be able to place it where we want, but we can't use legend and place/style how we want. Choose one".
