Shut me up and give me a link if this has been discussed before, but I
can't find it on Google. Has there been any discussion of allowing the
href-attribute in (almost) any element, as in XHTML 2.0?
Personally I think this is the one killer feature of XHTML 2 and I would
soo much like it ASAP in all browsers.
What are the perceived benefits that make it such a "killer feature"?

makes perfect sense to me.
Theoretically, for XHTML, you could use XLink and write this (assuming
the appropriate namespace is declared)
<abbr xl:type="simple" xl:href="http://www.whatwg.org/";

But my tests with Firefox showed that, even though it supports simple
XLink links for generic XML, that doesn't work for XHTML elements.
