Sorry. Thanks! Yes indeed. I meant:

It seems contrived if AT would treat
  <object aria-describedby=x >
     <div id=x hidden><p>Foo</div>
  </object>
different from how
  <object aria-describedby=x >
     <div id=x><p>Foo</div>
  </object>
is treated.

Good question. And one that I had myself. Within me I concluded that if 
you do

<img aria-describedby=desc>
<div id=desc hidden style='display:none'>

then there would be no description - provided that full semantics means 
that CSS is respected too.
