It's come to my attention that some have interpreted this statement to mean that UAs should include hidden="" elements in the ordinary accessibility tree when they happen to be so referenced. Were this true, it would be potentially harmful because users might navigate into that part of the ax tree. We should try to reword this so that such an interpretation is impossible for people to draw from the statement. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
