--- Comment #1 from Simon Pieters <simonp@opera.com> ---
Why?

This goes against the original design of ARIA. ARIA was supposed to work in
AT+browser combinations even if the browser does not support ARIA (like IE6).
Using DOM attributes means that the information is not available as a content
attribute in browsers that don't support the DOM attribute, which means it's
not accessible.
