In sharing the new role proposal with some devs, many incorrectly associated role=none with display:none because they share the same value.

It's better go to w3c ARIA mail list where the discussion of this topic takes place, for example, http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/wai-xtech/2014Jan/0009.html

Info from Rich from bug 1025027 comment #0:

We added a synonymous role for role="presentation" in ARIA 1.1. This was done to reduce the amount of typing needed to support this function and to create a new role that was better understandable to page authors. Over some considerable time role="presentation" should be deprecated out. See: http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/spec/aria.html#none
