xhtml role attribute module's relationship to wai aria?

I saw that there was a WD published of the  XHTML Role Attribute Module [1].  Is this related at all to WAI ARIA? Did this come from the work of WAI ARIA?

EOWG participants,

Our currently active work items are:
* HTML/CSS version of WCAG 2.0 presentation
* WAI-ARIA Overview edits

At this time, neither of these are ready for additional EOWG review. They might be ready on Thursday. For this week's teleconference, I'll send either an agenda or a cancellation notice on Thursday.

Reminder: EOWG meeting schedule and planned topics are at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/#meetings 

Regards,
~Shawn
