This means the notice we want to hide on page load doesn't depend on CSS for that.
It also makes it much clearer in the page
semantics that the notices are hidden or not.
What’s changed
The notices for telling users that the page content has expired or not are shown or hidden by the presence of the hidden attribute instead of by CSS.
Identifying a user need
This means the inclusion of the expiry notices is not dependent on CSS to work.
Not strictly accessibility-focused but I have had it raised in the past (by an automated SiteImprove audit) that hiding things by CSS only is a problem and that hidden should be used instead.
Notes for reviewers
I'm not sure what to add to the CHANGELOG because it already has unreleased changes. Happy to do whatever is advised.
