The language "visual cue" is fairly ambiguous. Is which link has keyboard focus clear in the absence of color information? For example, by default user agents tend to outline focused links with a box. That's a visual cue that independent of color, whereas (say) changing the color of focused link text is not. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
