Spin off from bug 452388 where I noticed this missing state and add an atom for it.
Sould be WONTFIX. The layout engine already knows the most. If something isn't really hidden there is no point. See the implementor's guide. aria-hidden is for ATs that can only access the DOM. Pretty limited use.
Yeah, I think I agree, and AT that can only access the DOM can look at display styling and coordinates. So the case for this bug does seem very small, perhaps just dom based AT that are getting confused with Z ordering or something. Closing as WONTFIX. We'll add support if we get requests.
