example:

<div role="tree">
  <div role="treeitem">item1
    <div role="treeitem2>item2</div>
  </div>
</div>

This code snippet is not allowed by ARIA spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#treeitem) but Gecko and at least NVDA consider this structure as valid (for example, Gecko calculates group attributes correctly and NVDA announces it). If half of way is passed then I suggested to calculate name correctly too.

Objections?

Given that it's invalid according to the spec and given the huge backlog of other work, I'm going to wontfix this.
