Seriously, its all meaningful names until you have to write <div class="field"><label...><input...></div> to create any sort of containing element for fields. IMO field would be semantically useful / natural. As to other people's arguments about "Why would you need this?", why do we need a main, header, or footer tag? It's readable and is about semantics.

@iambriansreed Been coding for over 30 years now, doing HTML for over 15 and I still keep looking for some tag, any tag, better than div for this. It's just not there... But hey we have a strong tag so we can replace b with it. Thanks W3C, just what we needed.
