I think that some browsers have a feature in which they can check whether bookmarked pages have been changed since last visited. This feature is an implementation of http. The browser may implement this by sending a HEAD request with a if-modified-since header. Thus, the additional feature you request is a style-sheet related feature, that will allow presenting this information also in links. There might be quite many history related features that may be presented to users. It is not clear which ones of the should be standardized in style sheets. For example, in some versions of Mosaic "active" meant "visited and cached" but later browsers (and CSS) use active in a quite different meaning. Regards, Nir.
