My point being that fieldset could be used to wrap label and input pairs?
No. <fieldset> is to group related controls, not labels and controls.
From http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.10
"The FIELDSET element allows authors to group thematically related
controls and labels. "
In some sense, the label and input are thematically related.
I understand that a legend is not required for each fieldset, and not
including a legend for the label/input pair, it avoids the screen reader
reading it out. Thus avoiding the situation where the legend is the same
as the label.
Would using fieldset be be harmful to accessibility, if used in this way
(for label/input pairs without the legend)?
