Ugh, this is killing me.

I was under the impression that I wasn't the only one noticing this, so it
seems that I shot my mouth off - however, I have seen a multitude of
occasions in my own work where the program was crashing from
aria-labelledby, as there was nothing else that I changed to create a fix.

I will research the exact cases where I see this happening, but I have run
into this problem so many times it has become a broken record for me. Any
time I crash JAWS/IE in Win7, it has ALWAYS been the existence of a
focusable aria-labelledby attribute.

I'll get back you on this. I'm sure I can track down an example - wouldn't
be surprised if it is javascript related at this point...
