Philip asked:

"unless display:none also hides content from screen readers?"

I just tested display:none in Window-Eyes Professional 4.2 and the text did
not render in Window-Eyes.

I also recall testing the display:none CSS attribute in JAWS 4.0 sometime
back and the display:none did not render in that screen reader, as well.

Another technique is to use CSS to have the foreground and background
colors be the same and use a very small font.

Or

Use CSS visibility property instead of display. Set visibility to hidden.
