#6 - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-545 "Better rendering of disabled link controls" No patch, but the required changes are described in the issue comment. It works on the browsers Click usually supports (see the above LinkDemo example too)
I have a problem with controls which depend on JavaScript because sometimes (by law) you have to deal with the fact that JavaScript cannot be used or at least degrade gracefully. Also the issue suggests to use an external CSS file for links? So if I want to render a link with Click it will load an external stylesheet? Thats quite heavy for something as simple as a link.
I've noticed quite a number of JIRA's related to adding styles to control which I really hope we stay away from.
A more practical approach is to create site wide themes but to me this is outside Click's scope. See JQuery theme roller for an example: http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/.
#10 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-543 "SimpleLink control" (or improvement to ExternalLink - although "SimpleLink" would be a better name.)
We already have too many link and button controls, I'd rather we consolidate/remove some of them instead of adding more.
