Re: Should WCAG2.1 provide requirements or guidance on buttons vs. links?

There are two possible failures under 1.3.1 and 2.1.1 that occur to me.


   - Failure of 4.1.2 due to using a link as a button, without a button
   role.
   - Failure of 2.1.1 due to using a link for a button without trapping
   spacebar to activate button


Cheers,
David MacDonald
