Hi Joseph, The HTML5 specification currently unambiguously states, The hidden attribute must not be used to hide content that could legitimately be shown in another presentation. http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/editing.html#the-hidden-attribute It is plain and simple. The proposal changes the hidden attribute's meaning so hidden won't mean hidden from all. It introduces inconsistency which may be confusing, error prone, difficult to comprehend, and put into practice especially for novice authors. What would an author do if he really wanted to hide something from all users? @hidden and role of presentation? Thanks. Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L. Carlson
