Labels+Inputs = <3 #251

When we have the following abbreviation (or any similar): label>input# it'd be 
cool to have it expanded not to <label for="$1"><input type="$2" id="$3" 
/>$4</label>, but to <label for="$1"><input type="$2" id="$1" />$3</label> (in 
TM snippet notation)

The important part is the automatic mirroring of "for" and "id" attributes.

I have no idea how to implement this correctly: ZC works on abstract elements, 
it’s possible to combine label and input with intermediate elements, it’s 
possible to write many labels and inputs in one abbreviation etc. I think 
it’s better to define a new snippet for such cases

I made a custom snippet for this type of thing. Feel free to use and modify to 
your own preference, then add to your own snippets. This one is for labels with 
a text input.

'lblt': '<label for="${id}">${id}</label>\n<input type="text" name="${id}" 
id="${id}" />',

Custom snippets are ok, but it'd be great if, for zen-coding, multipliation and 
counters worked for this. You can't achieve this with just a snippet.

However, if it's not trivial to implement this, well, ok.

Guys, what the heck?

Why not just make label>input expand into:
<label><input name=''></label> ??

Per the HTML spec, <input> tags without for attributes are implicitly 
associated with their contents (See: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.9.1)

I just LOVE zen-coding, and the only thing that stop my flow is deleting these 
unnecessary 'for' attributes...

Much obliged!

baronlior, you can always create your own snippets and abbreviations

Closing this issue for now because implementation is too ambiguous.
