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/...
I think it's a mistake to assume a "accessible" or
"screen-reader-friendly" view should be non-interactive.
In so far as this is true at all, it's largely a result of web
interactivity depending on non-standard widgets. AFAICT, this is one of
the problems HTML5 tries to solve.
