Status: Accepted
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale:

Looking at the original bug description:

> In the conformance Guidance for conformance checkers section allow
> role="presentation" on img. It is important to be able to convey
> programmatically to assistive technology that an image is presentational and
> not of interest. 

role="presentation" is already allowed on <img>.
It is already possible to programmatically convey to assistive technology that
an image is presentational and not of interest. 

Therefore this seems to already be solved.

This bug also had apparently unrelated comments but they were responded to
above (in particular in comments 13 and 15).
