Just to clarify: This bug says "clarify if". And will accept that presentation
role for features with strong native semanics, is made unpermitted, if it is
done in a coherent way, including that the justifications for why presentation
role shold no longer be permitted is coherent. (For instance, why <hr/> should
not be permitted to have presenation role?.)

* Currently, I see increase of coherence if the sentence I proposed in comment
#2 is added, as the permission to use presentation role is sensible to mention
not only when explaining 'no role', but also when in front of the table with
straong native features.

* By contrast, to WONTFIX this bug does per se neither increase or decrease
coherence. But the bug should not be WONTFIXed unless the bug filer and the
editor are satisfied with what the spec says about presentaton role of native
semantics. The bug filer is not satisfied. And it seems from what the editor
says he is not satisfied either. Or else, why does he want that readers should
ignore what HTML5 currently says and instead look in the 'Using WAI-ARIA in
HTML' document? Why else does he say that that document has more detail?

* At the same time, it seems like the editor thinks that WONTFIXing this bug
has other implications than it has. E.g. as told focusable elements occurs both
in the table with weak semantics and the table with strong semantics. Refusing
to clarify that features with strong native semantics can take presenational
role, is not going to impact on focusable elements with weak semantics.
