Why using a:link ?
<a> </a>  means that the word inside is a link
a { color:blue;  text-decoration:underline; }
is the same as setting
a:link { color:blue; text-decoration:underline; }
Link is a redundant tag

No, it isn't. Think about these:

<a onclick="">foo</a>
<a href="">bar</a>

a {} matches both, and :link matches only the second one.
Additionally :link matches only unvisited, inavctive, nonfocused links,
but a{} sets all at once.

:link will become very important in XHTML2 where
every element can have href attribute.
