The point of the data-* namespace is that we guarantee to authors that 
these attributes will never have any side-effects on the behavior of the 
UA so they can put whatever custom data they want in there in whatever 
form is most convenient for them (as long as it's a string, yes).

It seems like adding ARIA-like semantics to these attributes violates 
that guarantee...
