Having somewhere written that hyperlinks should be blue, allows you to style the background-color to anything but blue. If the UA suddenly displays hyperlinks in green and I decided that my background is green, the user will complain with me, not with the UA (and will probably switch to a different website)
I'm confused by this example. Didn't you already agree that HTML5 should *not* specify colors for links?
"HTML5 should not mandate the UA present <a>s in blue, but it should mandate the UA present <a>s like links (appearance:hyperlink). The color of course is a matter of visual themes and platform."
