 * Hello,
 * I am doing some accessibility stuff for a project and they’ve picked up an issue
   which I can’t seem to resolve.
 * When an input has an error it spits out the following:
 * `<span class="wpcf7-not-valid-tip" aria-hidden="true">You must enter a valid 
   email address to proceed.</span>`
 * The aria-hidden should now technically be false, is there a way I can update 
   this? I have tapped into the wpcf7invalid event listener and changed it but wondered
   if there was a reason I had to do this.
 * Cheers
 * David

 * The real body of the error message exists in `<div class="screen-reader-response"
   ></div>`, and what you are seeing is its alias. To avoid reading the same message
   multiple times, the plugin gives `aria-hidden="true"` to aliases.
