No, lubos' proposal would be based on a spec that would look like this:

"LABEL elements do not receive focus. So, the contents of the "onfocus" and 
"onblur"-event handlers are never executed. Nontheless, we defined the 
"onfocus" and "onblur" event handlers to be valid on LABEL elements in order 
to confuse browser developers."
