>Just don't include <?php if ($req) echo "aria-required='true'"; ?> in your theme. The WAI-ARIA States and Properties module is an add-on to XHTML 1.1 and is designed to be served as application/xhtml+xml. The default theme applies it incorrectly and while adding AJAX states and properties is supposed to help to make AJAX more accessible, until all mainstream browsers support XML most people are still forced to deliver XHTML as text.html. WAI-ARIA is still in draft form and has not been finalised. While there is limited support for parts of it, in some browsers, most assistive devices use Internet Explorer and although I don't know if IE8 will have support for it IE6 and IE7 do not. So, short answer is - if you want to validate your site just delete the aria entry. It has little or no value at this time anyway and may not even be what the final specification uses.
