Comment (by joedolson):

 In reviewing the requirements for Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines,
 I note that in order to meet those guidelines, an authoring tool must not
 remove accessibility information added to content. Stripping out ARIA
 attributes does mean that accessibility information could be stripped out
 by the editor, violating that requirement.

 I don't think that this means we should allow absolutely any usage of ARIA
 in the editor, since many attributes are impractical in normal usage in
 content, but it does emphasize the importance of allowing at least a basic
 set of attributes.
