hi dave,

use of role=presentation on controls and links is not allowed in HTML refer to
the strong semantics table:
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/dom.html#sec-strong-native-semantics.

I haven;t had chance to review the example you cited yet, will do so, but in
mean time please leave current advice as is.
