Bryan,

Role treeitem should not be children presentational true. A element with the role treeitem can have children that are semantically important and should be included in the accessibility tree.

Good question, I'm not sure, would be good to get others opinions about this.

I'm concerned at which level it should stop making sense, such as embedded lists, tables, etc. None of that works intuitively in a link for example.

Links can include block elements in html5.
Should those elements be ignored when they have a semantic role?
example:
<a href="#"><h2>Foo</h2</a>
Should assistive technologies expose this is an h2 link, or just as a link?
