Re: Fourth rule of aria > aria-hidden

And this is why I have interpreted the 4th rule of ARIA such that
aria-hidden is allowed on elements containing focusable elemnts, while
not allowed on the focusable elements directly.
We all know aria-hidden is dangerous, and warning against frivolous
use is important, bt there, as I see it, legitimate use cases for it,
this being one of them.
