Thanks,
This was a basic example however to show the issue for historical markup. You will have the same problem with the following if globally applied without the children presentational exception applied.
<div tabindex="0" role="button">
<ul style="list-style: none;">
<li style="float: right;"> Shopping Cart </li>
<li style="float: right;"> 5 items in cart </li>
</ul>
</div>
This too I have seen examples of in the past.
All the best,
Bryan

In theory yes, but where does it say in the spec this is required?
It is a normative requirement in HTML5
If a table is to be used for layout it must be marked with the attribute role="presentation" for a user agent to properly represent the table to an assistive technology and to properly convey the intent of the author to tools that wish to extract tabular data from the document.
