ARIA or RDFA?

Liddies proposal was to use RDFa whereever possible inplace of an aria extentionThe simplese case would look like<button type="button" property="http://scehma.org/coga/terms/save">default</button>in place of


<button type="button" aria-function="undo" >default</button>



There are many ways to write it such as 
<body vocab="http://scehma.org/coga/terms "><button type="button" property="save">default</button>this might make it harder for simple user agents to parse and manipulate it. I also think in some cases it makes it more complex to use.
I do not think  everything will work as RDFa such as aria-importance or aria-numberfree, so we would still be doing an aria extension.




I think we should look at the metadata  and see if there is a more RDF compatible way to write it. However the linked data inline should be only for easyread alternatives.  


All the best
