Presumably a non-visual UA could use the irrelevant attribute to distinguish content that was not relevant at the current time from content that was merely being hidden from graphical UAs. I seem to remember (but I am far from being an expert) that currently aural browsers ignore display:none content and so best-practice for adding additional text for aural UAs is to use CSS positioning to move it out of the viewport. @irrelevant seems to provide a way to move away from this kind of crazy hack. -- "Eternity's a terrible thought.
