Jon,

1. Should we refine this wording to reflect the change?

     dc.no.summary.or.caption.for.table=no summary or caption for table
This is substandard legacy use of HTML tables. I prefer not to do more work than is necessary to provide minimal support.  I also don't think we should advertise or encourage the use of role="presentation".  For the one use case in the JDK docs, it would arguably be better to use a list and some CSS, but since what is there is technically legal, I thought I would let it pass.

2. Does it make sense to test all the possibilities? Currently our tests cover 
50% of that space.

tested|caption|summary|role

           +       +     -
           +       -     +
    +      +       -     -
           -       +     +
    +      -       +     -

See answer to #1.

I was surprised by

     Objects.equals(v, "presentation")

I guess, I was expecting a more familiar

     "presentation".equals(v).

But there's nothing wrong with using Objects.equals.

I have never, ever liked the backwards form of <object>.equals(<subject>)  just as a lazy way of avoiding a null check. It's up there with C-array syntax (int foo[]) as one of those reasons why I prefer to code in Java, for clarity, not in C, for obscurity.

You're lucky that I used the modern new-fangled API Objects.equals, as compared to the Good Old Days,  if (a != null && a.equals(b)) ...

Please review a small adjustment for doclint: to suppress the check for
a table having a caption when the table has `role=presentation`.

There's an existing AccessibilityTest.java, but that is still focussed on
HTML 4, which does not support role=presentation. So, a new test
is added (for now) that is focussed on this test case, in HTML 5.
When we drop support for HTML 4, we should merge the two files.
