OK, I added an advisement to the 'display' property definition to clarify this point:

> The display property has no effect on an element’s semantics: these are defined by the document language and are not affected by CSS. Aside from the none value, which also affects aural/speech output [CSS-SPEECH-1], the display property only affects visual layout: its purpose is to allow designers freedom to change the layout behavior of an element without affecting the underlying document semantics.

Let me know if you have suggestions on further improving the wording here.
