I have misunderstood Patrick H. Lauke's reply.

I understand now that he means that it is good practice to follow Checkpoint 10.2. That is, to place the description text (label) next to the form control.

Example:
<LABEL for="firstname">First name:
<INPUT type="text" id="firstname" tabindex="1">
</LABEL>

I will read Paul Bohman's reply after a good night's sleep.
