I'm running our sites through Cynthia WAI validation and need to put
some characters other than whitespace between adjacent links to pass a
checkpoint. From various bits of reading I have elected to use a pipe
symbol hidden with CSS as a separator.
 
My question comes from nearly all of the examples using
visibility:hidden to hide the pipe whereas I was planning on using
display:none. My understanding is that visibility:hidden would leave any
space that the hidden object takes up rendered as whitespace (or the
background) and display:none removes that space from workflow. 
 
Display seems a better idea to me as it will unnecessarily affect layout
to some extent otherwise in the visual medium. Is my understanding
correct and is there any reason why using visibility is preferable?
 
Thanks
James
