Hi Dale
Technically you are supposed to specify a background *every* time you
specify a foreground (and vise versa).
The problem is that the validator seems to ignore the 'Cascade' part of
cascading style sheets (and also, doesn't look at the mark-up) so has no
real clue as to which background colour your links will be displayed on.
A generic style rule such as a {} (applies to ALL hyperlinks
irrespective of their parent) could be layered on top of an element
who's background makes the link invisible.
I ignore these errors if I'm sure the foreground/background clash will
never happen.
