Notice, the test case  defines the <a> to be "visible" if it has a red border and "invisible" if it does not have a red border. This terminology differs from the terminology used in the HTML5 spec, which talks about elements "being rendered" <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/rendering.html#being-rendered> or not. By the definition of "being rendered", the <a> is "being rendered" (since it doesn't specify "display: none" or "visibility: collapse" or any other styling that would exclude its rendering). Note, the <a> in the "invisible" case does not have an visible styling.

For completeness, section 7.4.2 of the HTML5 spec <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/editing.html#focus-management>,  defines a focusable element.
