"As of jQuery 1.4.3 HTML 5 data- attributes will be automatically pulled in to jQuery's data object. '
How about other way round? Enabling .data("value", "param") to be available outside of jQuery?
See the top comments by Ryan Kinal:
"It would be awesome if it were the element instead, but that is not the case."

Replying to [comment:1 scott.gonzalez]:
Why not just set thedata-attribute if that's what you want? Attributes can only store strings, while.data()can store any type of value.
Just saying that for string-only values jQuery can serve two way compatibility.
Posted as an "enhancement" for a discussion.

Reading is cheap, writing is not. data() precedes "data-*" and has semantics of its own to consider. Also this is probably a duplicate, but I can't find the original.
