+// Action links are elements that are used to perform an in-page navigation or
+// action (e.g. showing a dialog).
+//
+// They look like normal anchor (<a>) tags as their text color is blue. However,
+// they're subtly different as they're not initially underlined (giving users a
+// clue that underlined links navigate while action links don't).
+//
+// Action links look very similar to normal links when hovered (hand cursor,
+// underlined). This gives the user an idea that clicking this link will do
+// something similar to navigation but in the same page.
+//
+// They can be created in JavaScript like this:
+//
+//   var link = document.createElement('a', 'action-link');  // Note second arg.
+//
+// or with a constructor like this:
+//
+//   var link = new ActionLink();
+//
+// They can be used easily from HTML as well, like so:
+//
+//   <a is="action-link">Click me!</a>
+//
+// NOTE: <action-link> and document.createElement('action-link') don't work.
