The label tag is empty and not closed?

Hey @VladimirMikulic The reason I added this without any text like this is because I didn't want to change the page content while at the same time add a form-label. And the reason I added this is because some old screen readers don't recognize the aria assistive apis 😅 Thanks a lot for the review 🎉

Not closing tag is a bad practice. It can cause structural and styling issues down the road.
In my opinion, aria-label is the way to go. Messing with the DOM can be dangerous.
We can't forever be backwards compatible :)
