Tab index issue with aria-hidden vs. hidden

See original GitHub issue

I see you recently changed the hidden attribute to aria-hidden. Would it be possible to render both attributes? I’m using your component in dynamic forms and it messes up the tab index. hidden will instruct the browser to not include the input when tabbing through the form, aria-hidden won’t.

@martyf Thanks! I’ve been thinking about it and I think I agree with you. The most important use case is completely hiding the element (and then adding a hidden attribute), and the partial hiding can be an opt-in thing. I’d probably add a section to the docs about that and bump the major version.

Can you prepare a PR?
