Re: [csswg-drafts] [selectors-4] Consider respecting border-bottom-style on the :visited selector (#8871)

So I just read [this old article](https://dbaron.org/mozilla/visited-privacy) to understand the history of this issue. Really interesting to get a high level overview on it! 

Anyway, in all honesty I'm not sure how important the issue I'm bringing up is, I would rely on the opinions of low vision users for that. Technically speaking, since color is the only allowed differentiator between visited and unvisited links, I think this isn't satisfying the "Use of Color" criteria. Assistive tech seems to have some kind of way of determining what links are visited/unvisited, although I only did cursory testing on Windows. 

An idea - would it make sense to only respect different border styles if neither the visited or unvisited links have `border-style: none`? I think that shouldn't cause layout changes, but I'm not necessarily an expert in CSS.
