I like the role attribute because it's already usable in Mozilla, to

The advantage is in using elements which already have the right semantics.
Those already work everywhere. Using XBL, 'appearance' and perhaps
class="" you can style them in the way you want not affecting the actual
semantics of the element and therefore keeping it accessible.
