Define "presented to user".

A <style> element inside a @hidden element still affects the
presentation of the whole page. SVG patterns, markers and <use>
elements that point to elements inside a @hidden element is still
rendered right? Form controls are still submitted, and javascript is
still run, the effects of this is often visible to the user.
