IE7 doesn't skip <a> without href?

[joelpurra]

Originally reported for SkipOnTab. The tests fail for <a> without any href="" attribute. Could be related to what elements receive focus, or how the emulated focus is handled. I would guess it is because IE7 incorrectly reports <a> as <a href="">, which means EmulateTab thinks the link can receive focus when it actually can not.

• Try running the demo with IE7. Emulated tabbing stops just above the link without href.
• The tests show the same result in IE7, failing for <a>.
• Since I don't actually have any usable IE7 installed, IE7-mode in IE9 was used for testing. Please test if you have the real IE7 installed.

Should it be worked around, or left as is?
