That's conformance information for authors, not for user agents.

We probably should match Firefox and IE here.  Suppressing the dialog in this case isn't buying us any security.  (The control could just as easily be "hidden" by being positioned off-screen.)

There's some question about whether the click() method should work at all on this control, but it's behavior shouldn't be different depending on the hidden attribute (unless required by compatibility).
