One thing to note that may not be clear, although a <button> is labelable, the label should not be set with the <label> element (the text inside the button is the label).
Similarly if for some reason you are using <input type="button"> then the value attribute is treated as the label and a <label> element should not be used.
Using a <label> can actually make accessibility worse for <button> elements!
Given the subject of the post being focused on the <label> element I thought that was an important distinction.

I could tell from the accuracy it was more of an unintended implication than anything else. One of the most accurate and complete articles I have read on labels as they all forget voice etc.
I look forward to the next instalment!
