Re: 2.4.7 or 2.1.1 on "hidden" submenu elements?

Interesting. I do 2.4.7 focus visible, since the focus indicator is
not visible. I wouldn't do 2.1.1 unless the menu couldn't be expanded
by keyboard, or the menu items themselves could not be navigated to or
activated with the keyboard once the menu is expanded. Likewise, I
wouldn't do 2.4.3 Focus Order unless there is a clear break in the
logic of the order, though I could see the argument that if the menu
items are not visible, then logically the focus order would only take
you to the visible items.
