I did find Google Reader in the FAQ just now, but it took me a while  
to find the ARIA-enhanced version, since the main version does not  
have ARIA markup and just has an invisible link. I'm looking right now  
for actual signs of ARIA markup in the axs version using the live DOM  
view of the Safari web inspector, I can't seem to find any elements  
with aria-* attributes on them. Can anyone help me figure out where to  
look?

(In-the-wild use of ARIA is important for us for prioritization, and  
eventually testing, which is why I'd like to know about it.)

Cheers,
Maciej
