Re: Link vs Button for "Cancel"

In addition, I have found it to be an excellent UX design practice to use role="button" if the link is styled as a button visually. I cannot count the many times I would be interacting with a sighted user and state, "Click on the whatever link." The user would always say, "I don't see a link, rather a button." In some situations, it can be quite confusing.

I know this does not fall under WCAG, but I find it a best user experience for users across the board.
