Where is this documented? How much WAI-ARIA support?
When I looked at YUI 2 in March this year, only Button, Carousel,
Container, Menu and TabView had examples with an ARIA plugin (and
Grids CSS had an example of using landmark roles), which is less than
a third of the YUI 2 widgets. YUI 2 ProgressBar also supports
WAI-ARIA <http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/progressbar/#aria>.
YUI 3 has three examples that use the focus manager node plugin (see
<http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/examples/>): Accessible Toolbar,
Accessible TabView and Accessible Menu Button. However, when you look
at the documentation of the component infrastructure
(<http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/#infra>) or the widgets (three
widgets, all in beta), a search for ARIA brings up nothing. The
documentation of the MenuNav Node Plugin
(<http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/node-menunav/>) also mentions
WAI-ARIA support.
Can anyone provide more specific pointers on WAI-ARIA support in YUI 3?

PS: It is possible to use YUI 2 widgets in YUI 3. See
<http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/examples/yui/yui-compat.html> and
<http://ericmiraglia.com/yui/demos/2in3dt.php>. This way, you should
also be able to use the YUI 2 widgets with WAI-ARIA support in YUI 3.
