Comment (by afercia):

 For reference: we started discussion about "buttons should be buttons"
 several weeks ago, and the "toggle" here is a classical case: it should be
 marked up as a button. The missing part is the design/UI decision that
 should be made for such buttons. At some point it was agreed to start the
 switch to buttons, and meanwhile some UI decision was supposed to happen,
 see final discussion on Slack, Feb 18th:

 I'm totally fine with punting this, but please can we have some decision
 for 4.3 early? Please :)
 Worth noting Press This already started using `<button>` elements with a
 "light" style that makes them look like links, see the "Save Draft" and
 "Preview" buttons.
