Hello everyone, I have two questions about the Layout tables. Do we MUST use the WAI-Aria role=presentation on a Layout Table? Is the WAI-Aria mandatory or only advisory, best practice or else? I am looking for a concrete direction, a reference in WCAG, W3C, that says clearly that layout tables must use role=presentation. I found many references but none says role=presentation is required. References: 2.9 Use of Role=presentation or Role=none<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_presentation_role> Digital A11y WAI-ARIA: Role=Presentation<https://www.digitala11y.com/presentation-role/> Working Group Decision on ISSUE-130: table-layout<https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Mar/0245.html> Layout table with role=presentation: Screen reader compatibility<https://www.powermapper.com/tests/screen-readers/tables/table-role-presentation-layout-table/> 2017 Presentation Role Examples<https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/WD-wai-aria-practices-1.1-20170628/examples/presentation/PresentationRoleExamples.html> WAI-ARIA: Role=Presentation<https://www.digitala11y.com/presentation-role/> WCAG has clear fails: F92: Failure of Success Criterion 1.3.1 due to the use of role presentation on content which conveys semantic information<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/F92.html#F92-tests> Thank you, Martyna Marjanska
