Is there a way to use the DOM to scan the page for visited links and
assign them a class? I don't know enough about the subject to offer up
a solution myself - I'm not even sure that's possible. Can the DOM
check the 'visitedness' of an a element?
If it can that would be a cross-browser solution.
a:visited:hover {
...styles...
}
OR
a:visited::hover { ... }
(double colon is CSS3 syntax)
Untested, but theoretically it should work...

I was wondering whether there is any way of creating a different hover
effect for visited links than unvisited links, but I have got the
feeling there is no way to achieve this?
I was first hoping it could be done by changing the standard order of
the pseudo classes, but that's not the way to go.

Can I just offer an opinion here.
When thinking of semantics it sometimes helps to go back 20 years and use
pen and paper.
If you were writing a big list (numbering each item) in a small notepad you
would, on successive pages, keep the numbering going. So on the second page,
