Reopening:
I'm unhappy with this resolution. I prefer to apply the patch that was applied to the WHATWG spec, since it provides more flexibility, in particular for accessibility:

Comment 4 Edward O'Connor 2012-10-17 22:23:23 UTC 
Silvia, do you plan to apply the change you referred to?
Comment 5 Silvia Pfeiffer 2012-10-17 22:46:04 UTC 
Yes, next weekend. I only apply patches once a week. Between that I give people time to give me feedback.
