If the rest of your code is valid and the only thing that is invalid is the WAI-ARIA stuff then that would be good enough for me...When will the W3C validator support ARIA?You're missing the point -- I validate not for religious purity but to make sure I have a valid DOM (no overlapped/missing tags, typos in element names or attributes, etc.).
Then your solutions are either to do as the W3C suggests and use the class attribute for WAI-ARIA role names, and add afterwards using JavaScript/DOM, or validate before adding the ARIA stuff, then add when you are sure the rest of the mark up is correct.
Analyzing each validation to see if errors are "OK errors" or "real errors" is not acceptable.
