I think you misread ARIA 1.0 - it says: [1] ]] Skip hidden elements unless the author specifies to use them via an aria-labelledby or aria-describedby [ snip ]. [[ Note that it says "hidden elements". It does not say "aria-hidden elements". The word 'hidden' has a definition: [2] ]] Hidden Indicates that the element is not visible or perceivable to any user. Note: Authors are reminded that visibility:hidden and display:none apply to all CSS media types; therefore, use of either will hide the content from all renderers, regardless of modality. Authors using other techniques (for example, opacity or off-screen positioning) to visibly 'hide' content should ensure the aria-hidden attribute is updated accordingly.[[ [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/complete#textalternativecomputation [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/complete#def_hidden -- leif halvard silli
