ISSUE-95: Remove/Discard the Hidden Attribute

hidden

Remove/Discard the Hidden Attribute

State:
CLOSED
Product:
HTML 5 spec
Raised by:
Shelley Powers
Opened on:
2010-01-11
Description:
Remove section 7.1 which describes a hidden boolean attribute.

The ability to hide or display elements is adequately covered with CSS, via
both the visible and the display properties. The aria-hidden attribute can more properly manage accessibility. The hidden attribute is completely redundant.
