Is it possible to tell more about what layout table maps to in Firefox? Or may
be you have a pointer to a documentation of what Firefox does? And is it
possible for the user to perceive any difference?

Even if layout tables without the role attribute are not mapped to presentation
role, ”maxime” number 2) said that ”layout table” designates tables that, quote
”have - or could have had” role presentation. So there is still, I think, room
for a definition of the layout table concept with reference to
role="prsentatioN".
