Greetings Can aria-hidden="false" be used on children of elements with aria-hidden="true"? <code> <div aria-hidden="true"> content <div aria-hidden="false" role="dialog"> Visible dialog content </div> more parent div content. </div> One use case is implementing a modal using an in-page element (when creating a separate div for modal dialog content is not possible). The spec is not explicit on this, though the definition says that :the element and all of its descendants are invisible to assistive technologies). http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-1.1/states_and_properties#aria-hidden This technique does not work with screen readers currently, but we have not yet investigated where the problem lies, and I am not 100% sure is a problem, or if not being able to override aria-hidden state for a descendant of aria-hidden="true" element is expected behavior. Thanks
