RE: [WSG] The Problem of adjacent links

The rationale for this checkpoint seems to have been long forgotten, and I don't know of any user agent that has a problem with adjacent links. Nor does anyone else it seems, which is why the WCAG Samurai recommended that the checkpoint should be ignored. It certainly isn't a problem for any

RE: [WSG] The Problem of adjacent links

The content:after pseudo class can be used to seperate the links with a vertical bar. It wont work in Internet Explorer but I believe it will still work with screen readers (although at this point in time I cannot find anything that confirms this). That said, it's far more logical to just
