I don't think this is correct,  role=presentation suppresses element
semantics not the text content. see here for further explanation
http://w3c.github.io/aria-in-html/#use-of-role-presentation

Also note the mappings for all elements that are in the SVG1.1 mapping doc
are based on the SVG 2 mappings for each element unless the element is no
longer in SVG2
