Currently, Chromium exposes something like

<div style="text-transform: uppercase">foo</div>

as having content "FOO" in the accessibility tree.

What do you all think of this? I see the arguments as follows:

For: AT users perceive the content the same way as sighted users do - for
example, if checking an HTML document is rendered as expected.
Against: This type of style is intended purely for a visual effect (such as
readability) and is misleading to expose to the accessibility tree.
