That would do no harm, but I don't think it would be much benefit either. This site is about a year old, and we took the view that ARIA was not sufficiently well supported to be worth using. More importantly, users typically have no idea what it is when they encounter it, so it will be years before ARIA provides any real benefit. Besides, it was difficult enough to get the developers to make the website WCAG-compliant, never mind introducing new concepts they don't understand.
