There are web accessibility guidelines for content generators to bind 
things such as labels and radio buttons.  If the content does this, Orca 
should announce the label correctly.   Unfortunately, HTML content 
generators ignore accessibility guidelines and we cannot rely upon laws 
or common sense to get content generators to follow the guidelines.  As 
such, we do need to infer the labels of objects, and we are tracking 
this via http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407941.
