Hi Matt,
> Cynthia, if that is how it would work, does that mean that it would be literally impossible for the screen reader user to be aware of the image? Like, for example, there would not be any way for the screen reader to provide an option to ignore the text role?
I believe that is the point of the text role. In this case it means,
"there is no image here, just text".

I suppose so. Does an <img role="presentation"> have an image context
menu? That's another case where the <img> is not exposed in the a11y
tree. See the final text in Rich's email for the ACTION-1380 effort
[1]. If a presentational image allows interaction with a context menu,
then, Houston, we have a problem, since there in no accessible in the
AAPI to hang that menu off of.
Your question might be relevant to ISSUE-1011. [2] The
presentation/none role section calls out a number of restrictions on its
use. Issue-1011 suggests similar restrictions for the text role.
