Re: Aria-describedby for entire checkbox grouping?

Hi Alex, is there some reason why you can't use the <legend> element with
the <fieldset>?

That's a pretty rock solid way of communicating what the checkbook group is
for. The <legend> does need to be the first child of the <fieldset>.

Another approach would be to use the aria-describedby attribute on the
individual checkbook.
