Re: Buttons styled as links and links styled as buttons

A related thought: what about sites that have a top horizontal 
navigation made up of links, but visually styled like a tabbed 
interface. Do we argue that these fail 1.3.1 and 4.1.2 because they look 
like tabs but aren't exposed as tabs (with relevant ARIA roles etc)? Or 
do we fail under a "reverse 1.3.1" for not being visually styled 
correctly to properly convey their actual meaning/role (of course, there 
is no such thing as a "reverse 1.3.1", but I've come across odd 
arguments recently that essentially boil down to that..."the visual 
presentation doesn't convey the actual programmatic structure underneath")
