    Advantage of S:LINK over A HREF link?

      What is the advantage of S:LINK over an html link?

      <s:link id="footercustomercarefoot" action="customer_care" 
              title="Go to Customer Care." value="#{messages.customerCare}" />

      Used in conjunction with the pages.xml file where a rule is set:

                      <rule if-outcome="customer_care"> 
                          <redirect 
                              view-id="/store/#{customerSession.storeShortName}/customer_care.xhtml" /> 
                      </rule> 

      I did not code the above, but we want to add a new link. Can you explain why the above is better than just adding a normal link <a href=""> etc..???

      Searching for a reason on the web AND in Beginning JBOSS Seam is providing no direct answer. I think the framework assumes some sort of past knowledge.

      Kind regards,
      Dan
