Shrink the clickable regions

Your argument is to be pragmatic. I love pragmatism. But this is going to far.
Nested links are illegal.[1] If fundamental stuff like this is ignored, what's
the point in having a spec?

It may be true that it works in current versions of all major browsers. But I
still remember a time where nested links were completely ignored. Are you sure
these browser versions aren't used any more? It also causes a number of other
problems. For example, simple CSS selectors like
.mw-echo-notifications a { background:red !important; }
cause strange and probably unexpected results. Tooltips become misleading:
<a href="a" title="Click here to go to a"><a href="b">

Please see my longer comment about the clickable areas in the overlay.[2] My
favorite solution is to shrink the clickable regions as shown in the attached
screenshot. This will solve this bug as well as other issues.
