conformance error for use of role=presentation on interactive elements

State:

CLOSED

Product:

pre-LC1 HTML 5 spec

Raised by:

Description:

rasied from Bug 10919 - Allow role="presentation" to override the default role of any element which was resolved wontfix
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10919

while there are legityimate use cases for allowing role=presenation on some
elements, there are not legitimate use cases for allowing role=presentation on
all elements. In fact no reasons have been put forward for allowing
role=presentation on form controls and other interactive elemnents and allowing
them on form controls is actively harmful.

so unless use cases are provided I request that role=presentation be non
conforming on the following elements:
