Nit: role=none should be listed under "Roles which cannot be named" #81
Description
Under https://w3c.github.io/aria/#namefromprohibited
role="presentation" is listed, but role="none" is not.
In other places where role=presentation is listed, I saw role=none also listed (although did not do a thorough search to see if there are other inconsistencies).

so from i can gather here,
noneisn't listed here because this list of roles is being created from the characteristics tables within each role definition section.nonedoesn't have that table, so it isn't showing up in the list.pkra commentedon Apr 29, 2022
As noted by @scottaohara this issue is due to aria-common not being able to add synonymous roles to "Roles which cannot be named".

Now that we have two cases of synonymous roles, perhaps we should have structural information for synonyms.

Closing this issue in favor of w3c/aria#2073. Background:
noneis now in the list "roles which cannot be named" since w3c/aria#1945 switchedpresentationto be the synonym ofnone(and moving the characteristics table to none).However,
presentationis now missing (which is tracked in the aforementioned aria issue), i.e. the underlying issue remains - we don't have a setup to deal with synonyms (e.g.,imagevsimg).
