Comment (by garyc40):

 I have to disagree with nacin about keeping the links and only no-op them
 instead of switching to span. It's basically fixing a bad experience by
 introducing a less seriously bad experience (e.g. When no-JS, tab
 navigating etc.)

 Since when do we settle for compromise instead of fixing the root cause
 and keeping the semantics clean?

 Sure, the code might be a bit convoluted. But that's what it takes to get
 the job done, unless somebody comes up with a more elegant approach to
 toggle span / link. CSS changes for :focus and :hover is hardly anything
 more than duck tape.

 I'd still prefer to keep this out of 3.1 until we have some more
 discussion and feedback from ux. Or perhaps I'm just a perfectionist when
 it comes to tiny little details like this.

 Thoughts?
