Hixie said in an interview I did with him "..The plan is to make sure ARIA and HTML5 work well together. Right now I?m waiting for ARIA to be complete (there are a number of last call comments that they haven?t yet replied to), and for the ARIA implementation rules to be clearer (it?s not yet obvious as I understand it what should happen when ARIA says a checkbox is a radio button, for instance). Once that is cleared up, I expect HTML 5 will give a list of conformance criteria saying where ARIA attributes can be used and saying how they should be implemented in browsers." http://www.webstandards.org/2009/05/13/interview-with-ian-hickson-editor-of-the-html-5-specification/ So perhaps this is a leverageable synergy?
