Reference: "The fact that a.t. does not honor aria-hidden="false" on a
child of element with aria-hidden="true" baffles me, and makes
implementing modal dialogs for screen readers a much more complex
enterprise than it should be".
I am not sure I understand the behavior you are expecting:
The aria-hidden=true on the parent is declaring "hide me from AT".
Now to place aria-hiddenĂșlse on a child element is the same as not
placing the attribute at all. The aria-hidden=true on the parent will
still be in effect.
Thanks,
