Summary AX: VoiceOver does not move focus to <a> elements

When using voiceover on iOS, links in the browser do not receive focus. I believe this is an incorrect pattern and has led to issues that only occur on iOS. I would expect the swipe gesture on iOS with VO active to move browser focus as well to ensure a consistent experience across mobile and desktop devices using webkit browsers.
