I don't see any variation on this one.

We might want to clarify "label" in mobile context. But the definition as is seems pretty clear.

label:

text or other component with a text alternative that is presented to a user to identify a component within Web content

Note 1 A label is presented to all users whereas the name may be hidden and only exposed by assistive technology. In many (but not all) cases the name and the label are the same.

Note 2 The term label is not limited to the label element in HTML.

The note 2 already makes it clear that it's not limited to the <label> HTML element.

And note 1 makes it clear that the label should be visible (whether text, or component with alt-text)

I would keep it as is for our first draft.
