Thread ends with a suggestion to make <label> have a transparent content model (to allow <div> or <p>).

Need to check the interop status of such a change.

It's been a year and no tests have been forthcoming. Closing this for now, please re-open when tests are available.

One test in Yandex, Safari and Firefox browsers of two paragraphs in a label shows that clicking on the works fine, but navigating to bits of the label and clicking on them with VoiceOver active fails in Safari. There is also a test with a paragraph including a link in the label to try. Systematic results would be nice.
