Suppose there's an anchor which has no text content but has a generated content applied by CSS, like the following fragment:

<style>
a:before { content: "foobar" }
</style>
<a href="http://example.com/"></a>

Even though the <a> doesn't have any textContent at all, this will show a link with an anchor text "foobar". Clicking it should take us to http://example.com/
However, sometime around early Chrome 12 build, Chrome (and WebKit Nightly) starts not activating the link when clicking nor being focusable by the tab key.

Since it works in Gecko, Presto, Trident, and old WebKit, it should keep working.
