Comment (by joedolson):

 Definitely need to agree that from an assistive technology perspective,
 it's too early to drop the ARIA attribute. The reasons mentioned above are
 all very true - it's a completely nominal gain in terms of code
 streamlining, but it will remove support for quite a few users of
 assistive technology. JAWS is not just "not free" -- it's in fact very
 expensive, and many users will delay upgrading as long as possible.
