HTML5 has incorporated all of ARIA for some time, and all aria-* attributes are allowed on any element, as long as they don't conflict with strong native semantics. Here it is in the latest Working Draft: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#annotations-for-assistive-technology-products Here it is in the Editor's Draft: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#annotations-for-assistive-technology-products-aria John, I know you must be aware that ARIA is in the spec because this has been discussed many times at great length, on the mailing list, at the telecons, at TPAC, and so forth. These discussions were before, during and after the inclusion. I think maybe you are getting a little over-passionate about this issue, and as a result perhaps generating more heat than light in this thread. Now might be a good time to take some time out, and then come back later and see if you can communicate your points in a calm and fact-based way. Thanks, Maciej
