Is this accessible for audio browsers? Screen readers navigating by form elements will be pretty lost without <label>s (and WAI-ARIA attributes for rich components, but one thing at a time).

Would hate to be the site that tried to simplify their billing but got an accessibility lawsuit[1] for their troubles.

Wow, thanks for linking that lawsuit. I had no idea there was a risk of getting sued just for not setting your site up perfectly for primadonna blind persons. That's really terrifying.

> primadonna blind persons

What a hateful, insensitive thing to say. Obviously the National Federation of the Blind isn't going to go after just any website, they are going to go after the larger ones that should know better. Big companies should absolutely be forced to accommodate people with disabilities, I would even say that is part of what makes the United States such a great country.
