Description: Bullet point 3 in 2A is causing confusion to the public "If aria-labelledby and aria-label are both empty or undefined, and if the element is not marked as presentational (role="presentation"), check for the presence of an equivalent host language attribute or element for associating a label, and use those mechanisms to determine a text alternative. For example, in HTML, the img element's alt attribute defines a label string and the label element references the form element it labels. See How to Specify Alternate Text ([HTML], section 13.8) and HTML 5 Requirements for providing text to act as an alternative for images ([HTML5], section 4.8.1.1)." People are reading this to mean that anything with role="presentation" does not get included in the accessible name calculation (including any child content of that element). This needs clarifying See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2012AprJun/0143.html and http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2012AprJun/0142.html

Loose text from call: "If the element is marked as hidden, skip it. If the element has role presentation or none, ignore the host language attributes and proceed to the child contents."
How about changing to "If aria-labelledby and aria-label are both empty or undefined, check for the presence of an equivalent host language attribute or element for associating a label, and use those mechanisms to determine a text alternative unless the element is marked as presentational (role="presentation")."
