hi Ben,
>How does this impact what ARIA should say here, in your view?
I think that we should not be adding additional burden and complexity for

aria-hidden confuses me.
I think that html5 hidden and CSS display:none should be functionally and
semantically the same and that both should imply aria-hidden=true
