For me label is a pretty logical way of marking up forms along with 
fieldset all are designed to work in a form. IE has some presentation 
issues with legend and persists in styling it blue unless you 
specifically alter it to another colour. Someone with a deep knowledge 
of Cascading may be able to say why.

Display the labels as block with width and you can then flow them, clear 
them all along with the inputs.

Here is an excellent article:
