IMHO, with regards to the original question, if you are going to use the .visuallyhidden rule, you'll probably need to over ride all of that, so your "off" rule is needed (as always, it's based on each use case). There isn't a 'master off-switch' - although, it would be nice wouldn't it? ;-)
Otherwise, you'll need to assess your stance on hiding visually/completely based on this discussion and use of ARIA etc. and see if you are ready to change your whole philosophy on hiding. > This is an interesting debate, certainly, and opinion does seem divided with > authoritative voices (your own included) on both sides.
