Should aria-labelledby *not* add the original node's value into the name?

[tranjocelyn]

Consider this scenario:

<div id="container">
    <span>My edit</span>
    <input aria-labelledby="container" type="text" id="fld">
</div>

Here, the edit field is labelled by the container. Since the container name changes as the user types, the screen reader constantly announces the edit field name.

This raises the question: Should aria-labelledby not add the original node's value into the name?

This issue was originally posted in a Chromium issue.
