Forgive me if I'm missing the point here, but if you use:
a {
color : red;
text-decoration : none;
border : none;
}
a[href*="site1"] {
color: #f00;
background: #555;
}
a[href*="site2"] {
color: #00f;
background: #eee;
}
a[href*="site3"] {
color: #0f0;
background: #ff0;
}
It works for me. More importantly, it ignores any links containing "site",
so in other words, it really does have to be the full domain for it to work.
You can see this test here:

The http overrules the one with "site.com" value.
Unless I can be certain external links will never share a same word with the
site domain name, it's not very safe to use the attributes.
