Would be best if this is fixed upstream in TinyMCE. Looking at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/30421#comment:25, not sure if we would want to allow all of the above attributes. For example I've seen a lot of misuse of tabindex. However all WAI-ARIA attributes should probably be allowed by default in the editor.
