Description

The "presentation" role in the ARIA spec contains a use case where an <img> element (or elements) is within a containing <div> that is marked with @role="img". In that case, the contained <img> is considered presentational in order to avoid publishing the same a11y information twice to the a11y API.

The spec for the 'presentation' role value is (currently, last call draft):
http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#presentation

The second bullet point is the relevant one, as well as the first markup example within the section on the "presentation" role.
