Consider providing in the ARIA section of the spec clear unambigous user firendly linked references to the various WAI-ARIA documents. To make it as easy as possible for authors to learn more about WAI-ARIA.
For example like those provided in this document:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Consider adding an introduction to the WAI-ARIA section of the html5 spec talking about what WAI-ARIA is.
see for an example: http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/misc/HTML5/aria-html5-proposal.html

The plan is to do cross-references to the ARIA spec (indeed the markup is already ready for this); we're just waiting on the tools to be written to make this automatic.

EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document:
   http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html

Status: Accepted
Change Description: none yet
Rationale: Marking LATER until the tools are available.

If you meant something other than cross-referencing roles, properties, and states, then please file a separate bug that clearly states the request.

The bug-triage sub-team doesn't consider this to be task force priority as it is just a matter of implementation. Note that ARIA is XML based and has XML features that can be parsed with XPath automatically that go beyond just classes and IDs.
