Comment:

 The only, reliable, way to hide CSS generated content from screen readers
 is to wrap it in an element with `aria-hidden="true"`. The proposed patch
 uses a `<span>` element for this, which isn't particularly elegant because
 it gets printed out for all the menu parent items. Seems it doesn't harm
 anything though.
 Any feedback welcome and some testing, especially in IE and Edge, would be
 nice.
