I still think the right answer is XBL.
As for this points under 4:
1. This is also true for e.g. event handlers. XBL solves this.
2. <link rel="aria"> is not valid either. Also, by the time this would
actually work in browsers I'm sure we fixed validation for ARIA.
(In fact, I think validator.nu already validates it to quite some
extend today.)
3. ARIA is typically for applications that do not really have lots of
pages so this argument is dubious. Besides that extra network hits
are costly. Anyway, XBL solves this too.
