From: Richard Schwerdtfeger [mailto:schwer@us.ibm.com] Sent: 01 September 2015 00:27 "Let me explain. In HTML an anchor tag can span lots of content. It is essentially a container. You could in fact have paragraphs of text and other links inside it." The HTML spec states that an <a> element cannot contain other interactive elements [1]. With thanks to Steve for pointing me to the right place, the following is taken from the definition of the <a> element: Content model: Transparent , but there must be no interactive content descendant.
