--- Comment #2 from Leif Halvard Silli <xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no> ---
This solution does not touch the problem which the bug points out.

In comment #0 I suggest consulting with Hixie. But it is enough to read the
first sentence in the second paragraph of the WAI-ARIA section of the WHATwg
spec, which cleary says that presentation features with strong native semantics
can take the presentation role:[1]

]] 
Authors must not set the ARIA role and aria-* attributes in a manner that
conflicts with the semantics described in the following table, except that the
presentation role may always be used.
[[

This sentence does not exist in the HTMLWG version. But if the HTMLWG spec gets
the same sentence, then I shall consider the bug as fixed. To add this
sentence, can hardly be described as a "major change".
