Now a question about links.  There seems to be a few link styles currently.
I changed the hover style on the main menu a week or so ago from fading
light gray to no color change and just adding an underline for hover.

The TOC links on content pages are blue, and the TOC links on index.html
pages are redish. Links on the pages are blue and underlined.  The section
headings are light gray on hover.

Seems like we should have just a few link styles.  I personally like things
like menus, TOCs and obvious links without underlines, but with a hover
that underlines.  Regardless, I think hover should make links more obvious
and not fade away.

I think what we want is:

* menu items, toc, h1-h4:

color:
    always the same (with whatever color is
    appropriate in each situation)
a:link, a:visited:
    text-decoration: none;
a:hover:
    text-decoration: underline;

* the rest:
     default behavior

which means that if TOC is similar to the menu, most likely it shouldn't have a different visited colour.

This way we have only two link styles:

default style: good!
menu like: this comes to emulate images as menu items, good too.

I have a question about style sheets: Is there a way to define (name)
colors once and then use that name instead of the # number?

I don't know.

I also see in
the style sheet a lot of repeating styles, where I'd expect inheriting to
work.  Is that due to NS4 not inheriting correctly?

I don't know for sure if it's a NS4 problem.

What I know for sure is that the style sheet needs to
be reviewed and cleaned up, since things were added there sporadically and
it's a bit of a mess.
