There was a a long and hot dispute a while ago on one of the list
regarding the exact area that must be made hot according to the recommendation.

The recommendation says that all 'containing' areas of a basic-link must
be made hot. In XEP's opinion, that's an inline.

XSL Formatter makes all _contained_ areas hot, but that poses a lot of questions,
such as whether absolute containers rooted at a basic-link, footnotes, floats
and other things should be made hot too. Set background-color on basic-link
to see what exactly is the clickable area.
