* disallow aria-hidden on body element related to w3c/aria#1254 closes #221 - there were comments to do more with aria-hidden rules beyond just disallowing it on body, but i'm going to make a new issue for potentially covering those topics. as `aria-hidden=false` doesn't seem to cause any problems, even per the note in ARIA to use with caution: >At the time of this writing, aria-hidden="false" is known to work inconsistently in browsers. As future implementations improve, use caution and test thoroughly before relying on this approach. call out that not all global attributes are allowed on generic
