There was some comment by Ian on IRC/WG list (cannot find reference just now) about what would happen when ARIA described by etc was used alongside the new HTML 5 elements etc to describe the same content/instances or if there was some dissonance etc. To paraphrase, the thrust of it was saying that these issues are problematic and may halt the /adoption/ or /absorption/ of ARIA into HTML 5.
