All field sets should contain a legend which describes its contents.

A field set is a group of form controls, such as radio buttons, checkboxes, or text fields. The
`<fieldset>` element is used to group these controls together, and the `<legend>` element is used to
describe the contents of the field set.

Whenever the `<fieldset>` element is used, it must contain a valid `<legend>` element, which
describes the contents of the field group.

## Further reading

See [how to provide a description for groups of form controls using fieldset and legend elements](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H71).
