Janina just answered some such questions: It eems like ARIA-describedAT will happen in ARIA 2.0, and that it will be a pretty complicated feature, which possibly support more than a single URL and cater for multiple languages. [1] ARIA 1.1., which is supposed to become ready during 2013, is only for corrections and minor features.[2] To me, it thus looks like we need to leave the ARIA-describedAT, for HTML5.
