Hi,
Your code snippet is not showing, can you please confirm?
I see
<a href></a>
as in the source of your comment - is this what you're talking about?
If it's something like this... I'm actually not sure. What's happening is that HTMLCS will pass by elements that that have no content but are used as a "source anchor" (by including an ID or name attribute), as this is generally useful.
If it had a filled-in href attribute, it probably should be throwing an error because a link should normally contain link text that describes the link's purpose.
But if it has none of the above... I'm not sure what kind of limbo that leaves it in. Personally I'd remove them for code cleanliness purposes rather than anything else - or if it's meant to be used for something else (and actually contain content at some point), hiding it using CSS or something.
But I'd be leaning towards that it probably should be passed as "not inaccessible" because it actually doesn't -do- anything for anyone, and thus there are no accessibility issues with it - most of the things to do with accessibility as per WCAG20 have to do with making sure accessibility is equal, not necessarily "optimal".
