Comment:

 I'd agree the "Status" visible text shouldn't be a label, for consistency
 with other elements in this box. The status select should have a label
 though and I'd propose to add a hidden one, as already done for the
 timestamp select.

 The "Publish box" probably deserves some major improvements and re-
 thinking. It would be nice to get rid of the small "Edit" links, which are
 a bit tricky for accessibility, and make each single "row" clickable.
 Maybe each "row" (Status, Visibility, etc.) could be marked up as a button
 that, when clicked, would reveal the related stuff. Or, to keep the "no-
 js/js" compatibility they could stay as links but have a `role=button`
 added via JavaScript. Additionally, `aria-expanded` attributes should be
 used to give assistive technologies users some feedback about what happens
 when the links/buttons get activated. The "Revisions" row is an exception,
 since it's a real link.
 Worth considering also to simplify things, for example removing barely
 noticeable title attributes :) see screenshot below:

 Basically many things can be experimented and tested here but for now I'd
 recommend to follow the approach of the patch by @iseulde, just adding a
 new hidden label. See the refreshed patch.
