This is a bit tricky, since the way to make the labels occupy the same
width would be - tables (in the CSS sense, i.e. table properties).
Whenever this is the case, it's quite possible that your HTML could
contain a _logical_ table, so you could use that and just do the fine
tuning in CSS. For some simple examples, as well as a simple CSS approach
that makes the labels floating elements, see
