Perhaps a silly question, but why would it not be appropriate to hide 
the content from assistive technology? You are hiding it from one 
browser, why not hide it from all browsers? As long as you have a way 
for all browsers to bring the content back again it would seem to make 
the most sense to have the same content and the same behavior for all 
browsers.
