We definitely do not want to have the role overridden (although that's maybe not too much a trouble if href is only used on mrow). That's why I did not ask review for this patch ;-)

I believe we should get feedback from AT developers but my guess would be that on their side: c) won't need any effort , b) will need a minor effort and a) will be more complex.
Actually I'm curious about c), since that might help to remove anonymous nodes for mfenced if we decide to rewrite its renderer class (<a class="bz_bug_link
