[Mallory van Achterberg <stommepoes stommepoes nl>]

I've recently been looking into ARIA.  However, those developers who are
aware of ARIA and using it are the same ones who know better about where
to place dynamically-added content.  The majority of people building web 
sites have never heard of ARIA, let alone screen readers or anything else.

I wouldn't trust that pages are well-written, so I'd like to be able to 
trust my own software to guide me through bad code.

Still, thanks for pointing that out, I had run into the attribute but hadn't
gotten to that part of the Draft Spec yet.
