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...

Much cleaner and yet clearly indicates that there are two kinds of use cases covered.

Only elements that are referenced indirectly by a unique identifier (ID) reference or valid hash-name reference may be exposed at user request. 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. > > > > -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.443.300.2200 sip:janina@asterisk.rednote.net Email: janina@rednote.net The Linux Foundation Chair, Open Accessibility: http://a11y.org The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Chair, Protocols & Formats http://www.w3.org/wai/pf Indie UI http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/
