The delay  allowed time for Jonas' hidden proposal [1] to be
incorporate into the  editor's draft. Ian changed the editor's draft
[2] [3] to say,

"The hidden attribute must not be used to hide content that could
legitimately be shown in another presentation... if something is
marked hidden, it is hidden from all presentations, including, for
instance, screen readers..."

It goes on to say,

"It would be fine, however, to use the ARIA aria-describedby attribute
to refer to descriptions that are themselves hidden. While hiding the
descriptions implies that they are not useful alone, they could be
written in such a way that they are useful in the specific context of
being referenced from the images that they describe."

Best Regards,
Laura
