Jared:

I think you are echoing my point. The "visual aspect" is what gets made
invisible, usually through .css or through odd graphics effects. What
I'm after is that the "hiding" is programmatically determinable--e.g.
.css generally.

thanks.

If the moving content is decorative, the non-text content provision
requires that it be hidden to AT anyways, so I don't think this is
really an issue. I believe this provision applies only to the visual
properties of the content (thus my beef with the more expansive word
'auto-updating' which I've commented on a few times already).
