 Replying to [comment:17 jorbin]:
 > You shouldn't need to have unfiltered_html or to install a plugin in
 order to make sure that all end users can have a great experience reading
 content you create. While many of the aria attributes have little
 likelihood of being useful in comments(aria-label and aria-labelledby
 being notable exceptions), there is a high likelihood that the others they
 would be usefull in posts.

 Again, we're not talking about end users, or the content that I create.
 KSES is a specific limitation for anonymous and non-administrative
 authors.  If there is little likelihood of ARIA usage in comments, then we
 would not "Add ARIA attributes to globally permitted HTML attributes".
 Perhaps we should re-focus the intent and ticket summary toward augmenting
 {{{$allowedposttags}}} only.

 And again, do any non-administrative authors need to use ARIA in posts?
 The description of ARIA on the linked pages very clearly states that this
 is a scripting technology, which is something we generally block from such
 posts.
