We inject the ARIA markup and other enhancements as needed from the core Reader product.
Most of these attributes are added at runtime, not in static markup, since Reader is a very dynamic Web Application -- it's *not* a document. Also, in general, we will only emit ARIA markup to clients that are capable of using the enhancements; it would be silly to ship extra bytes to a browser that is going to throw it away.
