label tag with form elements

for

If you're using the "for" attribute in the label tag, is there any reason
to also wrap the input in the label tag?

Any benefit to this:

<label for="myinput">Label text<input id="myinput" type="text"
name="textfield"></label>

over this:

<label for="myinput">Label text</label>
<input id="myinput" type="text" name="textfield">

Thanks,
Mickey
