I understand the for attribute specifies which form element a label is bound to.
Do you have an example where this would be actually useful?

Clicking on the label will give focus to the element with the same ID as the for value.
For radio buttons or checkboxes, it will toggle their status as if you were clicking on them.
This is really useful expecially on handheld devices, where it’s not always simple to click the desired form control.
