The form elements that are not called out explicitly in the naming section are:

  • form
  • label (name prohibited)
  • input =date
  • =month
  • =week
  • =time
  • =datetime-local
  • =range
  • =color
  • =checkbox
  • =radio
  • =file
  • =hidden (cannot be named)
  • select
  • datalist (cannot be named)
  • optgroup
  • option
  • progress
  • meter

some of these can be labelled - but behave a bit differently than other already called out labellable inputs.
some of these cannot named by the label element.
some cannot be named at all.
