It doesn't resolve the whole issue of ensuring that ARIA is used
correctly with a native markup language, but if the ARIA specification
is available in a machine readable format (such as what attribute
values are valid for a particular attribute, and what attributes can
be used with particular roles in RDF), we could build a basic
validator to ensure at least the ARIA part is used according to its
specification.

Cheers,

Gez
