"Links with identical accessible names and same context serve equivalent purpose" [fd3a94]: Failed example 2 does not have **same** context #2175

Open Jym77 opened 2 months ago

Failed example 2 is:

<html lang="en">
    <p>W3C pages for ACT:</p>
    <p><a href="https://act-rules.github.io/">ACT rules</a></p>
    <p>Community group for ACT:</p>
    <p><a href="https://www.w3.org/community/act-r/">ACT rules</a></p>
</html>

However, the contexts of the links here are identical, but not the exact same (elements, …) which goes against the first Background note (and the Applicability). See also #1864.

It's not completely trivial to turn it into a valid failed example, because:

<html lang="en">
    <p>
          <span>W3C pages for ACT: <a href="https://act-rules.github.io/">ACT rules</a></span><br />
      <span>Community group for ACT: <a href="https://www.w3.org/community/act-r/">ACT rules</a></span>
        </p>
</html>

feels like the start of the sentence is disambiguating (even though with our definition of context, they do have the same context (which may be a problem with that definition, see #2176…))
