Yep, but is there anything inherently wrong with doing
<a href="/edit" title="Edit"><img src="edit.png" alt="Edit" /></a> <a
href="/delete" title="Delete"><img src="delete.png" alt="Delete" /></a>
(note the space)?
Failing that, how about something like this:
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li><a href="/edit" title="Edit"><img src="edit.png"
alt="Edit" /></a></li>
<li><a href="/delete" title="Delete"><img src="delete.png"
alt="Delete" /></a></li>
<li>Folder
<ul>
<li><a href="/edit" title="Edit"><img src="edit.png"
alt="Edit" /></a></li>
<li><a href="/delete" title="Delete"><img src="delete.png"
alt="Delete" /></a></li>
<li>Subfolder</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
IMO, the non-link example is not only far lighter in terms of markup,
but also offers a similar degree of semantic integrity - that is, there
is no significant relationship between the actual data (e.g. folder
names) and the interface (e.g. edit/delete links) better represented
through use of lists than simply with anchors.
