Comment (by fredck):
Valid code (the code that passes W3C validation), in any way means good
code. It is a step to it, but the validator is not able to understand how
meaningful that code is. The HTML 5 standards are being an evolution in
this sense, where strict rules are mixed with good practice
recommendations.
In the case of <a>, the HTML 5 specifies that its contents must be
"[http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#phrasing0 Phrasing content]". Let me
that the specific text about it:
"As a general rule, elements whose content model allows any phrasing
content should have either at least one descendant text node that is not
inter-element whitespace, or at least one descendant element node that is
embedded content."
Leaving it configurable would be an "anti-feature". It would bring some
known bugs back, and you would end up with undesired <a> elements, other
than those that you really want to have.
