Comment (by afercia):
Technically, both implicit (wrapping label) and explicit (for/id)
associations are correct. For all new code, the accessibility standards
recommend explicit (for/id) association, see
https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-standards
/accessibility-coding-standards/#labeling and that's to maximize support
for various browsers / assistive technology combos. We shouldn't assume
all users have the latest shining screen reader or browser version. As a
best practice, a non-wrapping label that uses for/id association is
better, and offers also other advantages, e.g. can be styled better.
That said, we recommend it for all new code to avoid refactoring of
existing code, but I wouldn't be opposed to enhance this specific case if
somebody wants to make a patch :)
