Although I am a strong believer in good solid HTML and only the use of ARIA as icing on the cake, I don't want to cut Joseph's head off if he wrote his document the way he did. Maybe there is a good reason why he did it that way based on his internal environment.

ARIA heavy pages tend to act like gas next to a fire. Once AT gets in contact with ARIA heavy apps, the results are not always good. In fact, it can cause the AT, such as JAWS, to crash. I have witnessed this on many sites. That's the only thing I would warn you to keep in mind Joseph.
