I don't think that affects IDREFS going into such a part of the page though. @hidden doesn't conceptually remove things from the page, for example scripts still execute, plugins and iframes still load, DOM is still created etc. It just removes that part of the page from the normal flow. The same way as "display:none" does. This is similar to how the <defs> element in SVG works. Things inside <defs> are not displayed directly, however other elements, such as <use>, can refer to things inside the <defs>. Might need to clarify this in the spec. / Jonas
