Comment (by joedolson):

 Hi, Sharon - I don't think any of that specific testing is necessary.
 Button and anchor elements do behave differently in assistive technology,
 and this is a long-standing, normal behavior that's well understood. The
 question in this ticket is not whether one option or another will work,
 but which is the most appropriate choice. Either will work just fine, but
 have a different activation behavior in a screen reader.

 Using buttons simply requires more effort to re-style the controls, re-
 writing the prior set up.

 Regarding DOM objects -- all elements on any page are DOM objects. The DOM
 is the model of objects in a document; nothing can be on the page and not
 be part of the DOM.
