Re: Breadcrumb trail

One advantage to using a link is that it keeps it in the Tab sequence. 
So someone using the Tab key to navigate through the content will land 
on the link and (if they use a screen reader) will be informed that the 
link represents the current page.

If it isn't a link then it's more likely that someone will bypass it and 
perhaps not realise they've missed out on potentially useful information.
