Hi Drew
I'm assuming the microformat scrapers look at the code and not the visual
design. I've been adding extra information in sections that use display:none
for microformat purposes and adding the appropriate classes to the content
that is already in the visual design. On this level, the a include shouldn't
be a problem if it is using display:none. The screenreader will ignore the
link.
However, you are correct in that a screenreader will announce that a link is
present. I'll check on our end as well.
Thanks

The a.include pattern is very new, and not quite official yet. There
are a couple of preliminary implementations around, but I'd be
surprised to find it in Tails at this point.
There were some concerns raised about the screen-reader friendliness
of using an empty link element with an href. My attempts to
investigate this have fallen flat a little, as my guy with the screen-
readers is short on bandwidth. If anyone has access to screen-
readers, we're interested in how the various links on the below pages
behave:
