WCAG1 (checkpoint 13.1) requires unique link names. 
I remember reading somewhere that WCAG-WG now says WCAG2 does not need it.
But 3.2.4 Consistent Identification of UI components does need it, no?

In other words, if value of two HREF attributes are different, the linked
text for the two hyperlinks should not be the same. Right?
