Johan – what you are describing is the correct usage in that scenario.

Subject: Re: [WSG] labels as input wrappers + <h6> in place of legend

 

I've always used label arount input fields <label>text: <input type="text" 
/></label> without the for="" attribute. 
I've never had problems with it, and I don't think I've ever seen any 
recommendation against it.

Not so:

"When [the for attribute is] absent, the label being defined is
associated with the element's contents."

"""
<LABEL>

  First Name
  <INPUT type="text" name="firstname">
</LABEL>
"""
