I am not sure if the issues are resolved in all major versions of browsers, but 
it was an attack vector at one point to distinguish visited and unvisited links.

Thanks for the catch, I will look into it.

Description:
------------
The PHP.net documentation styles visited links to look the same as unvisited 
links, which affects usability.  Visited links should be styled differently so 
that it is clear to returning users what they have already visited.

This serves two important purposes:
* Makes it easier to re-locate a page you have previously visited (useful when 
returning to look for information you previously found).
* Helps you avoid revisiting pages you have already read (useful when looking 
for specific information, to avoid frustration of repeatedly ending back on 
same page).


Expected result:
----------------
That PHP.net follows usability best-practice.

Actual result:
--------------
This browser feature has been unnecessarily disabled, resulting in a decreased 
user experience.

logged against a random PHP version)
