Re: hiding accessibility features

If you used such a technique, how would you then make the information
available to the AT user who needs it?  Display:none means don't show this
and several screen readers and the technology they use to know what's on a
web page honor that setting.  In a few cases this isn't true but not
nearly enough to use such a technique safely in my opinion.
