Supplemental text: I completely disagree with supplementing link text with hidden text via CSS. If more information is required in order to understand the link, then it should be available to everyone, not just people who use screen readers

Proposed Change:

Remove this Technique; Related issues: (space separated ids); WG Notes: [TEAMB] Discussed in the 31 August 2006 telecon: resolution: accept LC-1109 as amended http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2006/08/31-wai-wcag-minutes.html {not-accept} Response: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/2007Jul/0074.html New issue: http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=2325; Resolution: The description of this technique indicates that this is an appropriate technique when information is already provided in the surrounding context but is needed as part of the link text to interpret the link text when it is displayed out of context. The supplementary text would be information that is already available to all when the link is read in context.; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
