[SEC508] §1194.21(i) violation with visited/non-visited links by default?

[Peter Korn <Peter.Korn@Sun.COM>]

Greetings,

Sorry if this has come up before and been discussed...

In a conversation earlier today about §1194.21(i) "Color coding shall not be 
used as the only means of conveying information, indicating an action, 
prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element" the question of 
visited/non-visited links in a web page came up.  The default 
behavior/convention for this has been a color change of the link.  Clearly one 
can change the default behavior (especially with CSS); but...

I did a search of the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines, and didn't see a 
reference to the question of link color.


Any thoughts?
