Comment(by hakre):

 +1 I've talk with one of the css/webusability gurus here about that. He
 said that as well, this is best practice:

 {{{
 .nodisplay {
   position: absolute;
   left: -1000em;
 }
 }}}

 for older screenreaders this is better has been said. older readers have
 problems with ''display: none;'' even though ''display: none;'' is in WCAG
 / 508 compliance.
