Brian Ryner is the person to ask as he is coordinating the XForms UI 
control work.  I agree that it should probably treated as a property of 
the containing control IF IT IS CONTAINED IN A CONTROL.  However, most 
other XForms processors also treat label kinda like xforms:output and 
will display them even if they aren't contained inside a control 
element.  So there will have to be some visual aspect to it.

Please keep us posted with the results of your discussions with Brian.
