So should this then logically flow to allow labeling for ARIA equivalents to buttons and input elements such as role button, role radio, and role checkbox.
<span id="r1" role="radio" ...> ...</span><label for="r1">Milk</label>

In the past this was not considered allowable -- but perhaps this is changing.
