ok I wasn't aware of the .hidden class. So do we still want a new .accessibility class or should we use the .hidden one?
My take is that .accessibility is more semantic (which means we don't need to add a comment wherever we use it for accessibiility reasons) but OTOH it introduces a new class. I'm still +1 to add it.
