David, I was reviewing F63, G53, G91 etc. that relate to linked text. Does the doc now say that a "click here" or "read me" link is valid now if it is in the same sentence / para/ list item? This is very different from what I believe the problem really is. When one is reading a Web page these links whether in the same para/sentence or not, are not a problem because one is reading the para / sentence and link in a logical order. But these links are a problem when reviewed in a links-list or if one just tabs through links) or in other words, read out of context. One does not have access to the container para / sentence. Also if there are many click here / read more etc. links it is confusing when read out of context. So I do not believe that the problem is solved if links are contained within the same para / sentence to which the link relates to. I reviewed the examples against F63. I do not think they pose an accessibility problem per se. But links like "Download" whithout saying what it will Download pose a problem. So a title attribute + hidden text on anchor will help. In case it is an image link, the alt text+screen text should convey the purpose. Note: Both WinEyes and JAWS by default seem to "place" links on a separate line even if they visually appear to be on the same line.
