I now added Patrick's design as an alternative stylesheet in git and
triggered a rebuild of the docs on kainhofer.com. This way we can
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.
