But now I can tab to the links, but have no visual feedback as to what
link I am on.  That seems almost as bad as not being able to tab to them
in the first place.  The outline may be "ugly" but it serves as an
important piece of feedback.  If you remove it, the feature becomes
worthless to me.  Please don't remove it.  If I wanted it off, I would
have turned it off.  If you must remove it, please give the a:focus
style some other visual designation that the item has focus.  (I know I
can probably override this with an important rule in my own style sheet,
but the average web user won't - just wonder why tabbing is broken on a
particular page.)
