I've filed one Mike, http://pauljadam.com/demos/ios8bugs.html <http://pauljadam.com/demos/ios8bugs.html>;

It bothers me that <legend> an HTML4 Accessibility semantic element recommend broadly for forms accessibility for a few decades almost does not work on iOS with VoiceOver at all, you can't even touch the label or see its existence.

Maybe Apple will fix it in iOS 9? or 10?
