Comment:
Consider removing &lt;link&gt; matching :link/:visited, make clicking rendered
&lt;link&gt;s do nothing, etc, to match most browsers

    <thetext>Nah, I think it&apos;d more fun to have more browsers support this. (This is a pretty edge case thing so I don&apos;t think it&apos;s harmful to have the feature in the spec still waiting to be implemented, even though it&apos;s been many years with slow uptake. It isn&apos;t harming real page interop, since nobody relies on it. I agree that if this was something less esoteric, we should change the spec.)</thetext>
