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.</pre>
