Well, using hidden and visibility css properties is not safe according to
many sources and may cause problems with other than JAWS screen readers
(this might change with the new version not work at all).

I have found websites that explain a lot on the subject:

http://www.moronicbajebus.com/playground/cssplay/image-replacement/
http://www.stopdesign.com/articles/replace_text/
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fir/

Yet none of the techniques/solutions used is the "holy grail" I am looking
for and may stop working at some point.

Therefore do you think it would be worth taking the risk and go ahead with
one of the available methods? The worst scenario would be that I would have
to use find and replace facility in Dreamweaver to replace hx tags with div
and hardcode and .

I am to redesign a government website that consists of approx. 5500 pages.
It's a complete mess in terms of code at the moment and 99% updates has to
be done manually i.e. any replacements of items appearing on all pages would
involve a lot of manual work hence am trying to make life easier by creating
new templates that would allow to control the looks and feel of the entire
site through a couple of stylesheet files.

Why'd you do display:none AND visibility: hidden ?

Surely you'd want to do one or the other?
