Comment (by afercia):

 @rachelbaker yep it's always better to hide CSS generated content with
 `aria-hidden` since some screen readers (e.g. VoiceOver) tend to consider
 it like a "text element". Maybe `aria-hidden` could be set on the dashicon
 span, saving one span? No other accessibility concerns, as long as there's
 some screen-reader-text that assistive technologies can read out.
 Not so convinced about the visual part, but will leave this to the design
 team :)
