Actually, the label tag wrapped around form input is the "old traditional"

The "for" attribute method was introduced later to allow designers greater
flexibility in positioning/styling forms whilst maintaining accessibility.
Really? As far as I can tell looking at the historical record, Internet
Explorer 4.0 and HTML 4.0 introduced the LABEL element, including the
FOR attribute, IE didn't support implicit association until version 7.0,
and the old tutorials tended to teach it the FOR attribute, so I'm not
sure what tradition you're referring to.
