CSS conforming user agents will not render that in any medium.

Screen readers used on top of a CSS conforming visual browser obviously 
won't read it.

Assistive technology generally doesn't aim to be conforming (hence
the reason in the other thread that it tends to act as a visual 
browser for CSS when rendering to speech), but rather to try and
work best for the user in the real world.  However, I think it is
a slippery slope to deliberately mis-code pages to make them more
like bad HTML that the AT copes with (not that I'm saying that 
current products override display: none, one way or the other).

(Tools like JAWS are AT, not screen readers.)
