There is a very real need to be able to hide content from the visual presentation while making it available to assistive technologies. Currently, aria-hidden is the best available mechanism for this. I disagree with any suggestion that CSS properties should override aria-hidden. Rather, I think ARIA should be the final determinant of what does and does not appear in the accessibility tree corresponding to a document, irrespective of style properties. ________________________________ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may contain privileged or confidential information.
