Do you have any thoughts about whether > there might be work going on in the background? 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."
