Would this be an acceptable solution?
<STYLE type="text/css">
A:link.sidebar {color: #990000;}
A:visited.sidebar {color: #990000;}
</STYLE>
<DIV class="sidebar">
...sidebar links and other content...
</DIV>
As a bonus, if you wrap the entire sidebar in this DIV tag, then you could
set other styles for the sidebar and (in theory) have them applied only
there.
Be careful, though, if you're using tables. The various popular Web
browsers have varying degrees of success applying style within tables. You
may have to experiment quite a bit to find a cross-browser solution.
