Hixie outlined three reasons for having a separate <article> element:

The third use case is already solved with <section>.
Do you accept the notion that ARIA should become syntactically
obsolete over time so that its semantics are natively available in
HTML proper? (See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg-comments/2009AprJun/0031.html
)
If yes, do you think role=article is a legitimate and useful feature
in ARIA?
