Re: IE9 will not support aria-labelledby or aria-describedby - reactivating this bug for further consideration.

good news on this:
IE team say:

*We are reactivating this bug for further consideration.*  We will resolve
the bug when have concluded our investigation and will update the resolution
appropriately at that time.

not support multiple values in aria-labelledby and does not support
aria-describedby (
