When will the W3C validator support ARIA?


As I said "Now".


Using your provided DTD, a simple test file results in:

Errors found while checking this document as -//W3C//DTD XHTML+ARIA 1.0//EN!

Validation Output:  13 Errors
1. Error Line 2, Column 76: could not get "/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-aria-1.dtd" from "www.w3.org" (reason given was "Not Found"). 

      …//www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-aria-1.dtd">

      ✉
2. Error Line 2, Column 76: DTD did not contain element declaration for document type name. 

      …//www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-aria-1.dtd">

      ✉
A DOCTYPE declares the version of the language used, as well as what the root (top) element of your document will be. For example, if the top element of your document is <html>, the DOCTYPE declaration will look like: "<!DOCTYPE html".
In most cases, it is safer not to type or edit the DOCTYPE declaration at all, and preferable to let a tool include it, or copy and paste it from a trusted list of DTDs. 

....


Perhaps you have an example file that validates?
