I now added Patrick's design as an alternative stylesheet in git and

evaluate at the same time all the designs we get and then decide which 
we should use (or which aspects of which design should be merged for the 
final design). So, after the rebuild is complete (should be every moment 
now), all the texi2html-generated docs (but not the Doc index page!) 
will let you choose the design:

Thanks, it let me get a good look at it.  All in all, so far I prefer Patrick's except for unvisited links.  It's not obvious enough that they are something to click on until I hover.  The color is so close to the color of the normal text, (Firefox 3 on Linux), that even the font difference isn't enough to tell.  Jacob Nielson's guidelines are based on extensive usability studies with experienced and non-experienced web users.  They really make a difference.  Note that he says that you don't necessarily have to underline if the color difference is noticable enough, but that you should never underline anything else on a web page because people think that denotes a link.  He also says never use blue text even if that's not your link color because people expect blue text to be clickable.
