<label>Interpret as years between <input value="1930"> and 2029</label>
should work in Firefox well.

If it describes your use case accurately, then author should be capable to
address the issue by placing a proper accessible name. Thus it may be felt
awkward to introduce new relations for LibreOffice only, especially because
LibreOffice will still need to expose them, and it shouldn't be necessary
easier than computing a name. It has to be other way.
