People need to know how to configure their tools then if it bothers them

you can inline them in a style block in the <head>
<style type="text/css">
stuff goes here
</style>
or put the style sheet in an external file and link to it
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
If you remove the outline, please provide some alternate means to
identify which anchor has tab focus.
