I take it that in the case I outlined, that aria-hidden is being used
poorly? Or perhaps the combination of aria-hidden/tabindex="-1". "On
the assumption the user can see it ..." and it is actually functional,
then marking aria-hidden AND tabindex="-1" is a bad idea.
BTW, all I was doing was using the use case from the HTML spec I cited
earlier, where it says ignoring negative tabindex is okay in certain
cases. I didn't see how adding aria-hidden changed that use case.
