Yeah, eh, :any-link exists because we consider :link's semantics to be a legacy mistake. In an ideal world, :link would apply to all links, :visited would *also* apply to visited links (like :local-link *also* applies to local links). Then we could recommend doing :link:not(:visited), same as :link:not(:local-link). In this, definitely not the best of all possible worlds, we're stuck with :link being dumb. ~TJ
