 Replying to [comment:45 GaryJ]:
 > neil_pie, I don't think the class name filter serves any benefit here -
 there's ~146 occurrences of "screen-reader-text" across all files in WP,
 so it's fairly well established and understood. Since the WP admin CSS
 requires a consistent class name, I can't see any reason to make it
 filterable, even if the intention was to push all instances of "screen-
 reader-text" through a new function (which wouldn't necessarily be great
 anyway).

 Replying to [comment:47 grahamarmfield]:
 > Isn't filtering a bit overkill? The direct parameter that defaults to
 'screen-reader-text' is easier to use.

 If we don't need to provide developers access to edit, remove or add to
 the class of this element then it's completely unnecessary. If we do need
 to provide access to this class then filtering on it is absolutely the
 correct way to go in my opinion. Passing in a parameter to the function
 call does not provide enough flexibility, particularly if we are hoping
 developers will use this function beyond WP-admin.

 One thought now occurs to me - Isn't this classname a temporary fix (
 albeit for the foreseeable future ) to the fact that screen readers do not
 adequately support ARIA label attributes? Should we be able to switch the
 HTML output in the future then this classname would become redundant.
