Oops, good point, display:none might cause problems for COinS using
user-agents that count on inserting content into the span and having it
be visible.
Perhaps user-agents should be changed to change the style, removing
display:none if it's there, maybe that should be reccommended best
practice.

You can say display:none, but that'll probably hide it from LibX etc too.
No, why would it.
I agree with Godmar -- everything should be using the DOM. The tag is
still there. Of course, if the COinS processor is inserting its
output into the span tag, you might have a problem...
-Ross.
BTW, I don't see why screen readers would stumble over this when the
child of the <span> is empty. Do they try to read empty text? And if
a COinS is processed, we fix up the title so tooltips show nicely.

What is needed is a CSS @media for screen readers, like one exists for
'print'. So you could have a seperate stylesheet for screenreaders, like you
can have a seperate stylesheet for print. That would be the right way to do
it.
But doesn't exist.

Yeah, I had recently noticed indepedently, been unhappy with the way a
COinS "title" shows up in mouse-overs, and is reccommended to be used by
screen readers. Oops.
By any chance, do current screen readers honor something like '<span
class="Z3988" style="speak:none" title=...>'?
