Field Set (fieldset) Panel Oddities

I have an issue with the fact that the HTML for widgets placed inside a field set panel is not actually rendered within the <fieldset> tags. Specifically in my case, I want to control visibility that way. Yes, I see this post with an alternative:

But that isn't a good solution for us. Is there a fix coming for this? Is there any other control, like a panel, that would allow widgets to be placed inside them so that their HTML is embedded within the parent control's HTML? I have tried some panels and even the HTML frame but none of them seem to allow me to put a widget inside them.

One other oddity is that I wasn't seeing the actual field set's visual cues...the title of the field set and the box drawn around it. I discovered this is because our profoundui.css file is setting the z-index for divs to 10, that the profound framework is creating an outermost div and putting everything else in it, but the field set's widget is defaulting its z-index to 8 causing the visual cues of the field set to be under the div and therefore invisible. I can create a custom field set control that sets the default z-index property to a high enough value (like 11) to fix this, but it seems odd that the default settings cause the field set to not be visible.

Regardless, I still won't be able to control visibility this way.
