Have you seen the WAI-ARIA suite? You can find WAI-ARIA from the WAI 
home page if you look under "Guidelines & Techniques" in the 
navigation, and then follow the link to 
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria.php>Accessible Rich Internet 
Applications (WAI-ARIA) Suite Overview

I think the Overview page will answer your questions. Also, there you 
can find links to:
         <http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/>WAI-ARIA, 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-primer/>Primer, 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/>Best Practices, 
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/aria/faq>FAQ
