Note that while in HTML, a:hover may give the impression of working, it in fact
fails when the language you are using (e.g. XLink) doesn't use <a> as the
element for links.
Unless you are proposing that the element type "a" be a magical shortcut for
":link, :visited"...
Mozilla has the extension pseudo-class :-moz-any-link. Maybe CSS could have such
a pseudo-class introduced.
