I have found that the best way to overcome styling problems with legends
is to place the content for the legend inside of a span then do what you
want with the span.

<legend><span class="fixLegend">My content here</span></legend>

I have tested this method with FireFox, IE and Opera but not Safari, and
found that it helps resolve positioning and wrapping issues with
legends.
