Currently the relationship between a form input element and the form element description is not programmatically associated. Using the aria-describedby property we can programmatically associate form fields with their descriptions. This means that screen-readers who tab through a form will have access to the form element description without exiting "forms mode".

* for users of technology that supports WAI-ARIA 1.0.

Yup. And hopefully we can get it tested here in D7 with http://drupal.org/project/accessible before then.
