 Replying to [comment:4 helenyhou]:
 > Label can't wrap multiple input elements. Not sure what the right
 solution is, but that's not it.

 As far as I can tell from W3C docs for the `label` element in
 [http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.9.1 HTML4.01] and
 [http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html5-20120329/the-label-element.html#the-
 label-element HTML5], it should be all good, as long as a control is
 explicitly associated through the `for` attribute.

 On a different note, I agree with @lightningspirit. By splitting up the
 sentences we'd not only gain `label` sanity but probably also contribute
 to a little cleaner settings page.
