Things that are visibility:hidden are not focusable. I don't think that  
can be changed without compat problems. If visibility:hidden things are  
not focusable, I guess it makes sense to not make it selectable, too.  
(Possibly Web pages also expect visibility:hidden things to let clicks go  
through?)

Sense aside, visibility:hidden is not selectable in any current browsers,  
right?
