Hi:

I would also tend to put the "-required" in the form control as I never know
when "star" means required for a field and since I usually just work with a
list of form controls not the text around them, having the "- required" as
part of the form control label lets me work through forms quickly.

I don't think an asterisk provides enough accessibility. For form controls

Cheers, Karen
