Adrian A. commented on CLK-545:
-------------------------------

> To be honest I can't see this issue making it into Click core.
OK, I'm very sorry. I thought Malcolm agreed with this approach (see the second 
comment).

The mentioned by you item #3 and #4 are indeed bugs, but IMHO #1 and #2 are a 
clear improvement over the old style  (issue text and in my first comment).

In mentioned  by you item #2, you raise a valid concern, but: obscured  or not, 
that link should not be followable from the serverside point either - like in 
the case of validation - it should be on the server too - not just the 
rendering in the browser (cause users, crawlers, etc. might bypass the browser 
completely), so in the case of links: if an URL is sensible (e.g. credential 
related), than it shouldn't be callable at all. Besides, I'm not so sure if 
"security through obscurity" is such a great approach: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity

Should I understand that you veto this issue completely? 
If yes, than I apologize and I'll revert right away all the changes.

Thank you,
Adrian.

>
> Add better rendering of disabled link controls. Right now is a simple span 
> text and there's no visual hint that this might be a disabled Link (except 
> for that ActionButton).
> Possible improvements:
> - 50% opacity for images/icons
> - title on mouse over
> - href browser status bar hint on mouse over (but no click possible - since 
> the link is disabled)
