I use the same format as you do, but without the span in the legend. take
it a step further though and give the form element itself and id and start
in my styles by calling that id. First I define default styles for all
elements (I do use and believe in the css reset). Then based on which form
it is, the attributes are adjusted as needed by the form id in the styles.
I have to consider accessibility since I do government stuff a lot, so
headings just don't do it.
#FormID #FieldsetID #whatever { whatever.... }
