Details
When a label and a text box are direct children of a fieldset, as in: <fieldset> <label for="username">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name" id="username"> </fieldset> the space after the label disappears mysteriously. This does not happen if the label and input field are enclosed in a paragraph tag, or if they are outside of a fieldset.
Attached file test case (obsolete) (deleted) —
This is similar to bug 48376, comment #19 (although that comment might refer to a different problem).
Attached file test case (revised) (deleted) —
In light of bug 48376, comment #19, added some other inline elements and a strict DOCTYPE to the test. White space is stripped between <span>, <i>, <b>, and <em>. This bug manifests in both standards compliant and quirks mode.

Revising description. Only fieldset > * (in CSS terms) are affected. The bug did not manifest when the inline elements were wrapped up in <p>, <span>, <blockquote>, or <q>, so it doesn't seem to matter if the wrapper is block or inline.
