Re: New 1.3.1 Failures to Review

These look good, Loretta.  Just a couple of comments on the first one.
I would suggest changing the title to, "Failure due to using scripting 
events to create links" or "Failure due to using scripting events instead 
of anchors to create links".   The idea here is that scripting events are 
being used to mimic anchor tag functionality and I think we should be 
specific about that.  At first I thought I was going to disagree with this 
failure (because it sounds like it prevents all scripting events on 
anchors) but once I realized it was entirely about links I had no issues 
with it. 

I also might make the procedure a bit more specific but this is a nit. 
<current>
Check whether there are JavaScript event handlers on any element other 
than an a element that cause it to behave like a link. 
</current>
<proposed>
Check whether there are JavaScript event handlers on any element other 
than an a element that cause the location or contents of the Web Unit to 
change. 
</proposed>
I think that "behave like a link" might be too generic.
