The main problem with using a fieldset outside a form is that it may be
misleading. Since fieldsets normally appear in forms only, the user may
expect that there is a form involved.
The visual appearance of fieldset elements in browsers is varying, and many
authors think that it is so poor that they refrain from using fieldset
markup for constructs where it would be most logical. Thus, if you are using
the markup for its visual effects only, you should know that the effects and
their impact are different to different users - and might make some of them
think where the form fields are and what the form is for.
