[whatwg] [HTML5] Accessibility question

[Dave Oneal]

I think the question is justified. It's the same as with the noscript  
tag. Depending on the javascript support, you'll see EITHER the  
contents of the script tag OR the contents of the noscript tag.  
Imagine you've got a highly interactive ajax application with drag and  
drop and everything else. I would like to place this "multimedia"  
(where multimedia doesn't necessary mean audio/video) content into a  
<view> tag and a more accessible version into a <noview> tag.

So it's not only about hiding extra accessibilty information from the  
screen, but also about hiding interactvie/... information from the  
screenreader/...
