@WebReflection I think the input selector would handle the checkbox case, and label elements without a for attribute technically aren't interactive (ie. the nested input would be)?

@nikrowell no, label doesn't need a for, it's the other way around ... a label needs a for attribute that points to a unique identifier only when that element is not inside the label.

@WebReflection my thought was with the [for] attribute selector, you'd still get cursor: pointer on the nested input, however, I see your original point in that you still want nested text (or other elements) to inherit that style 😀

Super awesome. Also really love the idea of lowering specificity via where
