I generally agree with you, but I don’t think c) is true. It’s trivial, and most people won’t go the extra mile to make it “native”, but you can properly manage

I generally agree with you, but I don’t think c) is true. It’s trivial, and most people won’t go the extra mile to make it “native”, but you can properly manage history from JS, can also add accessibility attributes to make it focusable, etc, so any well-implemented DOM elem with a click handler could be just as good as an <a>. Or do you have any other requirements? Edit: I have replied from an older state of HN, and haven’t yet seen your other comments. Fair enough, didn’t think hard enough of other edge cases, thanks!
