Description

When in screen reader mode, we always expect hidden labels to be rendered, as these hidden labels often contain information (like labels for input fields) necessary for 508 and WCAG 2.0 compliance.

The HiddenLabelUtils has a method supportsHiddenLabels() that returns false if the current agent does not support hidden (off page) labels on the page. When in screen reader mode, this method should always return true, as we always want labels to be present in screen reader mode - regardless if they correctly appear hidden or not.
