[OpenLayers-Dev] "Action element" design choice

[Nils Weinander]

Hello developers

"Action elements", like the PanZoom pan arrows and zoom +/- or
Controls in a Panel are represented by an <img> inside a <div>.

Our graphic designer would like to have an <a href> rather
than just an <img>, in order to se a title attribute (for
mouseover tool tips) and to make the elements reachable
without a mouse, by tabbing.

What is the rationale for the design choice?

Modifying the code to get an <a href> and make it possible
to set its title looks non-trivial as the creation of the
actual HTML elements is of course rather deep down. We
don't want to start doing it without some discussion of
the implications.
