Indeed, you mention a very valid point here. WebCore 146 splits the 
isSelectable-method into:

    virtual bool isFocusable() const;
    virtual bool isKeyboardFocusable() const;
    virtual bool isMouseFocusable() const;

Those changes could be merged and <label> would become isMouseFocusable. 
Hence, it wouldn't hinder tab order, and still allow clicks to forward the 
focus to the "control". (Currently labels are not focusable at all in 
WebCore, I don't know why).
