@arush What's worse is that the blocks assume to know more than I do with what I intend to do with the link markup, specifically things like webmention-related attributes.
@tw2113 "Decisions not options" is not a thing we have any right to be proud of. Not when it results in things like wpautop or limiting choices about markup for links and now that I think of it why is it OK to limit choices about markup for links but not OK to tell devs make your shit accessible because freedom of choice or something?
