The HTML5 <legend> Tag   
The primary reason why authors of HTML documents have to use HTML5 <legend> tag is because this is important in providing caption for the <figure>, <fieldset> and <details> elements.

The use of the HTML5 <legend> tag is slightly different as compared to how it is utilized in HTML4.01. In HTML 4.01 the <legend> tag is applicable only for <fieldset> element. For HTML5, this tag is also used for <figure> and <details> elements. Aside from those aspects, align attribute can be used for HTML4.01. On the other hand, this is not accepted in HTML5 anymore because CSS has to be used for formatting.

There is no problem when using the HTML5 <legend> tag. It is compatible with both the Global Attributes and Events Attributes in HTML5. Aside from that, HTML5 <legend> tag is applicable for all the major web browsers like Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera and Firefox.
