'empty-heading' false positive if within `hidden` div

The <h3> element is reported to be empty even though it's not. This seems to happen because of the <div> element with the hidden attribute.

Reduced test-case

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div hidden>
            <h3>Not Empty</h3>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Configuration

empty config

Expected result

The 'empty-heading' rule should not report the <h3> element to be empty.

Actual result

The 'empty-heading' rule reports "'<h3> cannot be empty, must have text content'"

Version
