No, it gives more than that : if |href| becomes global, the usage of |a| will decrease and that's a good thing. |a| is a bad element because it serves as source AND target of links, because it's not multivalued, and I have 5 or six other very good reasons in mind. Anything we can do to prepare a future - in the long term - deprecation of |a| is a good thing for the future of HTML. </Daniel>
