Comment:

 I was going off of what is claimed in the WCAG 2 standards, not based on
 personal experience with screen readers.

 http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H44.html

 They state in http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/F68.html that
 <label><input /></label> is invalid (granted, the standard was written
 years ago as they reference Jaws 7.10 in the documentation). Consequently
 it will fail validators that check for WCAG 2 compliance.

 I'll move the </label> before the <input /> to fix the HTML unless you
 tell me to revert back to the original code.
