The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'ISSUE-95: Removing the hidden Attribute - Straw Poll for Objections' (HTML Working Group) for Gregory Rosmaita. --------------------------------- Objections to the Change Proposal to Remove the hidden Attribute ---- We have a Change Proposal to remove the hidden attribute. If you have strong objections to adopting this Change Proposal, please state your objections below. Keep in mind, you must actually state an objection, not merely cite someone else. If you feel that your objection has already been adequately addressed by someone else, then it is not necessary to repeat it. Objections: a native solution which provides the means of marking content as not yet or no longer relevant, is highly desireable; while such a feature, of course, needs to be harmonized with what ARIA offers, it MUST be remembered that aria-hidden is part of a bridging vocabulary, which provides semantics and functionalities which native markup does not provide; the hiding and exposition of content that is not yet, or is no longer, relevant should not be left to scripting or an overlay such as ARIA, but should be an organic part of HTML5. that said, i agree with julian reschke that in order for the hidden attribute to work as intended, it is first necessary to define precedence rules for the application of hidden. --------------------------------- Objections to the Change Proposal to Keep New Elements and Attributes ---- We have a Change Proposal to keep several newly-introduced semantic elements, attributes, and controls. If you have strong objections to adopting this Change Proposal specifically with respect to the hidden attribute, please state your objections below. Keep in mind, you must actually state an objection, not merely cite someone else. If you feel that your objection has already been adequately addressed by someone else, then it is not necessary to repeat it.
