There, anchor element "a" is listed as interactive content, without any restriction.  but, I don't see any reason to classify "a" without href attribute as interactive content.
Can we add "(if the href attribute is present)" to "a" there?

Tooru, this was filed in the wrong Bugzilla component. I've cloned it to https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/168 for you; if you have a GitHub account feel free to subscribe there.
