However, it is normally not even visible, and when made visible does not act as an interactive hyperlink by default. So its default role should probably be no role, rather than "link". 37951 1 ian 2010-08-26 19:05:51 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: It should act like an interactive hyperlink. If it doesn't, that's a bug. (To see the hyperlink you'd have to add some content to the element using :before/:after or other CSS, of course.) 37967 2 mjs 2010-08-26 20:40:52 +0000 Wow, I didn't realize that was required or that any browsers did it. It seems that Firefox does, for one. 43383 3 cooper 2010-12-15 14:37:12 +0000 Big triage sub-team thinks the ARIA mapping team should review and update this bug as the mappings are prepared, but no need for entire HTML A11Y TF to review. Assigning to Steve Faulkner to track.
