>> From Michael Brauer: the label would be a <form:fixed-text> element. 
>> It has an (optional) attribute "form:for" which contains the ID of a 
>> control for which the text is a label. The same attribute is actually 
>> existing for the <form:frame> element which defines a group box. Her, 
>> it can be used to specify that the group box is the label for a set
