If the link is disabled how does the screen reader know that. Have you coded it in a way ware the screen reader does not speak it if not you need to somehow let everyone know it is disabled. Forget the standers and think about usability first. If I hit this with my screen reader I would try and activate it innless you use some method to let me know otherwise.
