If I were implementing that, I'd look at either having a multipage wizard in the traditional sense, or an AJAX version that replaces the main content of the page. If the latter, it would probably be the central content area that's replaced, not the 'page'.

Yes: body and page are interchangable in this case, therefore page is not needed.

You'd said that the things not visible were the scripts and things hidden with display: none. Screen readers ignore those things as well.
