Never really heard of ARIA until I came across it in a Web Development
magazine (.net mag). I have just spent a few hours getting my head around
it, and whilst I agree it looks useful for screen readers and such, isn't it
less semantic?

Applying attributes that would currently make your markup invalid is
something which I am not happy about. Along with that, using <span> to
create a checkbox seems less semantic than using form elements.

Is ARIA markup only supposed to be used with browsers who have JS enabled or
sites that use alot of JS for dynamic content? What about browsers that
don't support ARIA markup?

I'm only dipping my feet in the water at the moment so I probably don't
fully understand, but from what I have read so far it seems a bit wishy
washy at the moment.

Any replies appreciated.
