Should last item in a breadcrumb be a link or plain text?

I always wonder whether the last element in a breadcrumb should be a link or plain text. I have seen both ways in different websites before. I just read an interesting comment about why it might be benificial to make the last element in a breadcrumb a link.

Links to the current page can sometimes be helpful, for example when you want to reset a form and there is no reset button. Not everyone will use the refresh button for this.
