Variations of links/spans with different attributes to test focusability

While VoiceOver/iOS (8.4) allows user to focus on

<a href="#"></a>
<a href="#" title="Close"></a>

adding a &nbsp; makes VO ignore these links completely.

<a href="#">&nbsp;</a>
<a href="#" title="Close">&nbsp;</a>

Of course, these are arguably inaccessible controls to begin with, but the fact that the first examples without &nbsp; do receive focus would suggest that the links with &nbsp; should in fact also receive focus.
