 For better accessibility, the tag cloud links in the Tags meta box should
 be reported to assistive technologies as buttons.

 They're not real links because activating them doesn't navigate to a new
 resource, instead it performs an action. The tag cloud is printed out in
 different contexts though so the ARIA role should be added just on the
 Tags meta box. I'd propose to check for the links `href` attribute, when
 it is set to `#`.
