hi patrick, there is some ARIA code in there, it appears to be
included because they are using some Yahoo UI components, which
include ARIA, but it does not appear to be intentional as it includes
the text "Shows a Modal Dialog built using SimpleDialog using the ARIA
role of alertdialog"

I tried it with JAWS 10 and IE8/firefox3 did not pick up the ARIA.

so unfortunately vons continues to be "an accessibility disaster area"
