I can't *generally* tell what value to link to in a form like `''foo: bar''`. Sure, simple cases like this are tractable, but we do a lot of things like `''width: 5px;``, and the best I can do in an automated fashion is link to 'width' there. (Even for cases that are just keywords, if the keywords are defined only as part of a larger grammar clause, I can't autolink them from the smaller use.) The problem is that we didn't want to overwhelm a paragraph with multiple links to the same term, but also didn't want to have to remember to only link a term once per paragraph (and keep that correct as things are edited or moved around). Our original idea was just to make the subsequent links much subtler, but the a11y group feedback kiboshed that with their insistence that links *must* be obviously distinguished from the surrounding text. So instead we just remove the subsequent links entirely, which is worse than keeping them in. We just need to ignore that a11y feedback and instead style the subsequent links more subtly, is all. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5007#issuecomment-621982176 using your GitHub account
