You're right, and the coords markup attribute is even allowed for A.  
Looking at the original example more closely, the result is an empty  
string because no coords attribute is set on the A element in the  
markup. coords reflects an attribute value, it does not give the true  
coordinates of the A element. coords is meant for use with client- 
side image maps, and to my knowledge only has an actual effect for  
AREA, not A.
