Moreover, there's the nonstandard hidefocus attribute recognized by IE.
It's a "Boolean" type of attribute:
<a href="..." hidefocus>

Indeed, so it might be better to ask how to make them more noticeable. You
could set outline properties e.g. so that the outline is thicker. But this
won't affect IE.

WONDERFUL --- it works in IE!!!!
Forgive my ignorance, but just how would a keyboard navigate hyperlink text,
given that there are no menus, etc, to which to apply keyboard shortcuts?
As well, as I asked jens, wouldn't a colour-change on a:hover and/or a:active
be just as effective?
Thanks for showing me how to suppress the :active outline in IE!
