I think that's debatable Jonathan. SC 2.5.3 talks about "the words which visually label a component" and goes on to say "it is first necessary to determine which text on the screen should be considered a label for any given control". I don't see anything that explicitly states that this must include all of the text on or within the bounds of the control and to me it intuitively feels like it shouldn't. Is there any more guidance on this from WAI or a general consensus that has arisen from discussion?
