The current HTML 5 draft doesn't mention ARIA anywhere. Perhaps it should clarify the relationship (or non-relationship as it is at present), even if it's only a brief mention in section 1.1.
Unfortunately a brief mention is insufficient as aria functionality overlaps substantially with HTML functionality and so processing requirements for aria-in-html need to be carefully considered (so we can answer questions like "how does <div aria-role='heading'> affect the outline algorithm").
