Ian, you're misunderstanding the role of ARIA in the DOM. Redundant ARIA is
really helpful for supporting existing ATs and it's quite handy for exposing
data easily with JS libraries. Your optimization ideas and exclusions for ARIA
are not fully implemented nor are they something that we can use, in practice,
as authors targeting a broad range of DOM consumers.
If you want to define strict ARIA, do it in something like a CSS namespace.
button { role: button; }
In CSS, the allowed roles would be defined.
In DOM, it's free form for a reason.
