Chris -
This is some fantastic work. I want to get this into SVN right away
and begin expanding on it. The first major improvement, that I can
see, would be to allow for $(":role") and $(":role(checkbox)")
selectors, as opposed to the current filters.
Also, you might want to adjust how you set the attributes in browsers,
check out Dojo's implementation and the associated post on the google
group:
http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.accessibility/browse_thread/thread/19fb681fad23db37#5ed706794b207fb6
http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/browser/dijit/trunk/_base/wai.js
Also, check out Dojo's test suite - it'd be good to get something
similar set up.

I spotted a couple minor bugs with your implementation (mostly with
forgetting to 'return' the right value at the end of chainable
functions. But we can work that out in the wash.
Ping me offlist for access to the jQuery SVN and we can start this
going, and move the discussion over to the jquery-dev (or jquery-ui)
list.
