The results on that page puzzle me for the nested input/label case - this is news to me. Given how browsers already forward focus for clicks on a label to the nested input, I always assumed that this takes care of programmatic association between label and input.

Maybe an aria-labelledby attribute would fix this? Heck, could still use a label "for" attribute and keep the input nested.

Either way, I meant that it is legal HTML to do that kind of nesting. Did not know that it was frowned upon, as far as standards are concerned, even assistive.
