According to the note from the PFWG (not official yet, just a summarization of what they felt was likely at the time), inherent semantics win over ARIA states and properties (for example, @checked wins over @aria-checked if both are specified on an <input type=checkbox>), but lose to ARIA roles. Strong inherent semantics still lose to ARIA roles, but should trigger conformance errors when validating. ATs and such should respond to ARIA by those criteria. ~TJ
