 When I was testing my site ([http://travisthoughts.com], running WordPress
 3.1 RC4) for accessibility at [http://wave.webaim.org/], I noticed that
 the categories widget was not displaying a <label> tag. So upon
 investigation, I discovered that category-template.php wasn't issuing a
 <label> tag on line 334 in the function wp_dropdown_categories(). So I
 propose the following edit.
 {{{
 $output = "<label for='$id' style='display:none;'>$name</label><select
 name='$name' id='$id' class='$class' $tab_index_attribute>\n"; //added
 <label for='$id' style='display:none;'>$name</label>
 }}}

 Once I made this change, my site passed web accessibility.
