I wasn't thinking of a label as much as something different with the widget 
(and I'm terrible at being creative on such things), but potentially some 
different sort of frame or grouping box that's visually distinctive.  The 
mixed-modeness there could still be confusing, but I'm not sure that it's 
intractable.
