Inside the fieldset, where else? Fieldsets can be nested. Bung
this into the validator for a demonstration:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
     <head>
      <title>x</title>
     </head>
     <body>
      <form action="x">
       <fieldset>
         <input name="x"/>
         <fieldset>
          <input name="y"/>
         </fieldset>
       </fieldset>
      </form>
     </body>
    </html>
