Comment (by sabernhardt):

 If one switcher link has the `button` role or becomes a `<button>`
 element, the counterpart link with `href="#"` ought to have the same
 change.

 I think I still prefer keeping the existing strings, but
 [attachment:"63238.button-role.diff"] probably would need further editing.
