I agree with Brian that there should be a well defined description of what is considered "hidden."<br><br>Why not have it both ways? A little checkbox (or preference... whatever) for "hide non-visible" with an attached filter would be far more useful than removing the chance to see all results. Down the line, an editable filter system (maybe like adblock?) would allow people to confine their results to what they are specifically looking for.

I think there needs to be distinction drawn between what microformatted<br>data prioritised for communication to the user and microformatted data<br>available when queried.<br><br>1. The concept of "visible on the screen" is problematic when it comes
<br>to accessing content in Firefox via assistive technology like a screen<br>reader.<br><br>2. If you want to extract all contacts or citations or whatever from a<br>document, you want all of them not just the visible ones.
