Based on my testing in Firefox 4, and this article[1], it seems that you are
extremely limited in what can reliably be styled using the :visited
pseudo-class. Just about any mechanism which would work for this use-case
would be, or should be, blocked by browsers that are trying to plug the
history leak.  My recommendation is to use Javascript to make these changes.
Or, just don't worry about it.
