Well maybe it is a hack. But you could use the title attribute on the form
control if you were so inclined.

A method that I have looked into is the use of the z-index to place labels
behind a form input (in the stacking order) effectively hiding it from view
for CSS capable browsers, but still available to screen readers.

code example:
<div><label style="z-index:-1;position:absolute;" for="poot">poot</label>
<input type="text" id="poot" /></div> 

is this considered a hack?
