Description steve faulkner 2015-10-26 21:58:59 UTC 
what is the correct behaviour (resulting accessible name) for cases where label elements contain hidden content
example http://jsbin.com/zefasipiso/edit?html,output
Comment 1 alexander surkov 2015-10-26 22:12:06 UTC 
I think the consensus was hidden content referred recursively should be ignored:

<label>
  <span hidden>ignored for name</span>
  Not ignored
  <input>
</label>
