Comment:

 Not exactly a bug, this is intentional. For some background, see [21790],
 #20210 and #17977.

 Right now, the only allowed HTML attributes on a link in the user
 description are: `href`, `title`, and `rel`. However, I'm not sure why
 `class` shouldn't be allowed. On the other hand, targeting with CSS a link
 in the user bio might not be so hard. Changing from bug to enhancement as
 this could be something worth considering.
