This is the alternate option I'd prefer, if you insist on changing the spec in this way. However, my first choice would be to not alter
the spec :)

I only want to alter the spec to prevent loopholes that allow for major interoperability issues.

To recap your proposal: * :link - matches all links (essentially document.links, but without the href constraint) whether visited or
not

In (X)HTML, I believe :link should be equivalent to:

  "a[href], area[href], link[href]"

 * :visited - matches none.

Is that correct?

Yes. Any solution is fine with the condition that every link in the document is matched by either one of :link or :visited.
