I thought for the most part browsers didn't allow you to interrogate the visited styles of a link anymore? Have I misunderstood?

Oh, I think I see on the moz link, basically other styles won't be applied anyway. Is that true across browsers?

I'd like to have a check for this, but from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Privacy_and_the_:visited_selector#Limits_to_visited_link_styles I see

Only the following properties can be applied to visited links:

• color
• background-color
• border-color (and its sub-properties)
• outline-color
• The color parts of the fill and stroke properties

So, perhaps this could be extended?
