Re: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-implementation/#exclude-elements Please clarify the meaning of "hidden" for elements excluded from the accessibility tree 15 March 2012 Editors' Draft for the "WAI-ARIA 1.0 User Agent Implementation Guide" states: "Elements, including their descendents, that have host language semantics specifying that the element is hidden, such as CSS display:none or visibility:hidden or HTML 5 hidden attribute." Please clarify the meaning of "hidden" here as its usage is incompatible with the definition of "hidden" in the Glossary which states: "An element is only considered hidden in the DOM if it or one of its ancestor elements has the aria-hidden attribute set to true". Obviously that's not true of elements that are merely hidden with CSS. Perhaps avoid the word "hidden" altogether. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-implementation/#def_hidden PS I've archived at the draft I'm talking about at: http://www.webcitation.org/66KIk6cPy -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
