I can't speak to what authors using -moz-any-link "want", but what it's _meant_ to do is match links (<a>, <area>, and <link> elements with href attributes, in practice) for styling with the default link styles in the UA stylesheet. Do the authors expect to see their <area> elements in the return value of that querySelectorAll [I assume you meant that, not querySelector] call? -Boris
