Actually, Bootstrap does look for the "disabled" class and/or "attribute" on links! See http://getbootstrap.com/css/#anchor-element-1. Maybe you forgot to require "bootstrap" in your application.js file (or maybe something changed in the meantime)?
And RE lightswitch05, Rails UJS supports the "data-disable-with" attribute on links, which changes the text of the link after it is clicked, but does not support the "disabled" attribute (or at least it does not anymore). See http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper.html#method-i-link_to.
Just thought I would chime in as it took me a bit to track down the correct answer!
