Comment (by dmsnell):

 In reviewing this I am also finding the expansion of scope to be a little
 undesirable. When all that’s being filtered is the URL this remains a
 simple change, but compacting the attributes and filtering them raises a
 number of questions from how to properly document the intent of the
 filtering to what should happen if someone wants to add a new HTML
 attribute that isn’t in the filtered set to what if they want to add non-
 plaintext content inside the link text.

 @westonruter’s idea of filtering the final HTML is pragmatic and allows
 people to modify the link using the HTML API. On the other hand,
 @sebastianpisula’s idea of filtering the URL solves the only known
 concrete problem mentioned in this ticket. While I might suggest a rename
 from `edit_link` to `edit_link_url`, that to me is the only solution not
 looking for a problem.
