Implication for Image Reorderer ARIA markup.

All,

At a recent standup, I reported on the ARIA teleconference where we (the 
PFWG caucus) voted to take the spec to last call; and that the 
teleconference went well over its normal time limit to deal with and 
solve one blocking issue.

The issue involved the role of "presentation" [1].  In the outline of 
its use, the second bullet point, and the first example have (may have?) 
implications for how to add ARIA markup to the Image Reorderer html.

It's tricky to give the rationale for this combination of the "img" and 
"presentation" roles, but I'm willing to give a short "brown-bag" type 
presentation if people feel that would be useful.
