Does the light purple really look all that much like the dark red? And the light purple looks like the dark blue? I tried to use simple colors to get the idea down for first, but let it get finetuned later.
No, light purple does not look like dark red, light purple looks like light purple. I meant that your unvisited stubs look like the current internal visited links (and the browser default visited links), and that your broken visited links look like stubs do at the moment. So it would be confusing for people who are used to the current system, until they got used to it. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with your system, I'm just saying that the conversion would be jarring to regular users, and that it would likely lead to lots of complaints. It's one of those features that will have to be discussed and approved by the users before it can be implemented. Perhaps we can set up a demonstration page somewhere so that people can see whether they like it or not.
