	We have received a complaint about the new template from Donna
Randell, who says that the color chosen for visited links is sufficiently
close to the color of unvisited links that her and others like her who
have difficulty distinguishing between shades of green cannot easily see
the contrast.

	I propose that the template file be changed so that in the _body_
tag, vlink="#808080", a neutral shade of grey visible at all color
resolutions and easily distinguishable from the green we use for unvisited
links. I have put up a home page clone at
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/test.shtml which uses this. Note that all sub
pages coming off of this are our real subpages and have not been altered.

	My reasoning for using this grey is so that a visited link appears
slightly 'washed out', that is, presents an intuitive 'visited'
appearance; the color will appear the same at all color resolutions and
is easily legible; and it contrasts well against the unvisited link color.

	I propose that we change this in the template and in any
hard-coded pages using the template design for Monday.
