People on
en.wikipedia.org constantly invent new applications of the
display:none CSS client side hiding hack.

As we know, this has some well known drawbacks as described at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:HiddenStructure (which Brion also
advised against).
It was also Graham (see also his previous thread) who also advised
against using this.
Occasionally, people revert warred hiddenStructure
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACommon.css&diff=8…)
back into templates with the argument that blind users are a minority.
Suggestions on how to deal with this situation are welcome.
I for one would love to simply have CSS display:none and speak:none
filtered out by MediaWiki software (possibly with a config parameter per
site installation).
