What? I think you got it wrong...
display:hidden is incorrect.

What mrmikel tried to say, I think, is that when you use display:none the actual (paragraph for that matter) will not display at all as if it was not there, though if you use visibility:hidden the paragraph will simply be invisible but the space it takes will stay as it is, meaning, it will look like an empty paragraph.

I agree. From your (both of you) comments, it could be understood that the fact that some element takes up space when hidden may be a side effect, a bug, or a particularity of some renderer. I just wanted to point out that that is exactly what "visibility:hidden" is supposed to do and the reason why one may want to use it in some specific cases, it's not a side effect.

And yes, "display:hidden" is wrong, or a mistake, as I said, for "display:none" or "visibility:hidden". Which is the right one, depends on what one wants. (And in ePub 2, "visibility" is not a required property.)
