--- Comment #3 from ssas...@wikimedia.org ---
We currently already do support some form of this. It is only when the a-tag
also has attributes that we emit the a-tag. See below

[subbu@earth lib] echo "<a href="http://foo.com";>bar</a>" | node parse
--html2wt
[http://foo.com bar]
[subbu@earth lib] echo "<a title='foobar' href="http://foo.com";>bar</a>" | node
parse --html2wt
<a title="foobar" href="http://foo.com";>bar</a>

However, a case can be made to drop attributes as well since we currently do
drop them on a-tags with recognized RDFa attributes

subbu@earth lib] echo "<a href="http://foo.com";>bar</a>" | node parse --html2wt
[http://foo.com bar]
[subbu@earth lib] echo "<a title='foobar' href="http://foo.com";>bar</a>" | node
parse --html2wt
<a title="foobar" href="http://foo.com";>bar</a>

So, this is more a matter of getting some clarity around how to handle HTML
attributes in a-tags (since they cannot be represented at all in wikitext). Do
we consistently drop them in all cases? In that scenario, we can always
serialize any a-tag to an extlink as a default.
