Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Addition: update allowances for label element

This update keeps the same allowances for when a `label` element is associated with a labelable element.  But for instances where an author just uses the `label` element without associating it with a labelable element, then the ARIA allowances should replicate the `span` element.
