I found it, though I didn't remember it was so authoritative;
WCAG 1.0: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#forms-labels

If it's not a required field, offer "Nothing" as a default choice, or
use a select box with "Nothing" as a default choice.

See radio button section:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.2.1


> Do you have any ideas on how to relate the notes semantically? (Aside

Just using "title" on the input field should be enough.  Another (in my
opinion) less elegant way would be to jam it all in the <label>, using
CSS:

<label for="field">
    Enum
    <span class="formdescription">Simple description</span>
    <select name="field" id="field">...</select>
</label>

Then styling it:
.formdescription { display: block; float: right; }

This is indeed incomplete and only to sketch what I mean.

Thanks for reworking the forms!
