I don't think it is a hack. The spec allows the reference of itself as a permissable feature. We should produce techniques for both if both are accessibility supported. The advantage of using the aria-labelledby technique is that the label is generally included in AT features such as list of links, whereas descriptions are generally not included in such features.
