Subject: [WebAIM] accessibility rule help please

Hello,
I'm trying to find the guideline/checkpoint that makes the code below fail an accessibility check. The rules which says that two different links on a page can't have the same target.

<p>
<a href="http://weather.com">Link label example 1</a><br />
<a href="http://weather.com">Link label example 2</a><br />
</p>

I'm going nuts trying to find it. I tested my sameple page and it validated! I could have sworn this would fail an accessibility check.


Thanks!
