RE: additional sentence for 204

I very much support this approach to exposing hidden content to assistive
technologies ... an id reference (or hash tag reference) to the hidden
content indicates an intent by the author to expose it to Assistive
Technology or other user agents...

Works for me, James. Much cleaner and yet clearly indicates that there are
two kinds of use cases covered.

An author desiring to keep a @hidden element hidden from any and all user
initiated viewing scenarios may achieve this by simply not referencing the
element.
