[csswg-drafts] Privacy considerations for detectability of assistive technology using CSS (#6155)

ShivanKaul has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== Privacy considerations for detectability of assistive technology using CSS ==
PING recently reviewed the WAI-ARIA 1.2 spec (https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1371) and suggested adding a privacy considerations section (none exists right now) discussing how `aria-hidden` can be used in combination with JS to heuristically reveal that a user is using assistive technology. In the ensuing discussion, it was brought up that several web technologies, including CSS, can be used heuristically to detect AT (please see https://github.com/w3ctag/design-principles/issues/293). 

@alice pointed out that the `content-visibility` spec has [discussion](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-contain-2/#cv-a11y) about this risk - could there be similar text for other CSS specs? Would it be useful?
