For those interested, Visual ARIA is now available, which is a cascading logic program primarily constructed using CSS that allows
any sighted person around the world to literally see ARIA usage on any webpage, or to download the source code and embed it within
any development project. This too is fully interactive and changes accordingly for all dynamic widgets that map to ARIA 1.1.
The article describing this and why it is important, is available at:

Cool, Bryan! I remember when Jennifer Sutton suggested this a couple of months ago you were less convinced it was a workable idea (http://webaim.org/discussion/mail_message?id(769), so I'm really glad you came up with a way to make it attainable! Kudos to both of you for the stellar suggestion and implementation. I'm already enjoying finding miscoded ARIA with it.

Happy to help :)
My original misgivings though had to do with the dynamic insertion of ARIA as a screen reader emulator, which is a different concept.
In contrast, Visual ARIA doesn't add anything to the page other than some data- attributes when Input and IMG elements involving ARIA are detected, in order to handle non-visible :before and :after pseudo element support.
Beyond this basic monitoring though, it is all done using CSS. So really, this is just a visual representation of what AT users encounter daily.
Kind regards,
Bryan

Excellent! As a note, I realized last night that I had forgotten to add the coloration details for Live Regions within the help doc, which I did. I also added instructions for adding the bookmarklet to browsers such as Chrome and Safari on the Mac.
All the best,
Bryan
