That wouldn't really make sense. It would be more logical to create an
HTML 4 + ARIA DTD and validate against that.

If it has ARIA in it, then their HTML (by any current W3C recommendation
that I know of) isn't valid. You can't fix this problem at the tool
level, you need to address it at the standards level.

directly to me, thanks).
