Re: ARIA and Label tags both for Error Messages

Might the solution be to precede labels with some symbol or word, like an exclamation mark or "Error", then use instruction at the beginning of the form to alert screen reader users that the form has errors and, to find out what those errors are, they need do whatever is necessary to access the ARIA-describedBy information? Word it much differently than this, of course, but seems like a possibility.
