Unless backwards compatibility is a huge requirement, I think it's
reasonable to expect users to run at least FF3 for ARIA support.
That's just my opinion of course.

Sorry all I thought I replied to Jörn a while back but apparently not. I agree it can be left out. Firefox users tend to upgrade pretty quick and there are not many still using FF 2.0, which was a pioneering implementation of earlier ARIA drafts.

jQuery UI currently has some extra stuff happening to support ARIA in
Firefox 2. We're wondering if that still makes sense - if no one is using
FF2 anymore in that context, we could just drop it now.
