I have similar requirements to you; currently I achieve them via a 
fairly nasty output processor. :(
I look forward to your patch, or something similar, being adopted in trunk.

I would like it if there was a way to adjust the defaults, ie. so all 
checkboxes/radio-buttons would have their labels to the right.

I suppose I could do this by extending Element::Checkbox into 
Element::Checkbox::Reversed, and setting it myself, but given that it's 
surely going to be a popular requirement, I think a default option would 
make more sense.

Cheers,
Toby
