Just to add to the discussion of jQuery - the core library is pretty good
vis-à-vis ARIA enhancement, and AOL recently contracted with TPG
(http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/?p=566) to review and improve jQuery UI
to fill in any missing holes. This will be a huge accessibility boost to
jQuery. Adding third-party modules/plug-in scripts to jQuery might require
an assessment to see if the developer added ARIA attributes, but I am
feeling very confident that the base library will be extremely good in
short order.
FWIW

That is good news! Thanks for the heads up.
