These two sentences are slightly garbled.  I think you mean:

"
Consequently, using a role=“presentation” or role=“none” on an <img> 
element is equivalent to using aria-hidden=“true”. If it is possible to 
make the descendent elements accessible, the user agent SHOULD embed the 
DOM representing those descendants directly within the host document.
"

It's not clear what you menan by "without it being referred to by the 
<img>".  What happens to the <img> element in the DOM?  Does it vanish?  
Or Is the DOM root of the descendents a sibling of the <img>? If user 
agents treat the <img> similar to an <iframe> context, the descendants 
within the <iframe> are not children, but are still referenced as a 
property of the <iframe>.

IMO, just drop the "without it being referred to by the <img>", thereby 
leaving it open as the exact implementation details.  That's a problem 
for the html working group.
