> In my .xsl, if I put the <input> before the <label> (on radio buttons and checkboxes), I think I can grab the value of the radio button and use it as my for and id attribute. But if the <label> comes first, I can't. Is there a preferred order by screen

The input should come before the label for radio button and checkboxes. Screen magnifiers are designed to work this way and may align the left edge of the magnified view as this paradigm is advised for checkboxes and radio buttons.
