We had this working on phase 2. Something like:
<span class="newlinkedge">[</span>
<a class="newlink" href="..." title="Edit 'Page
title'">Page title</a>
<span class="newlinkedge">]<a href="..." title="Edit
'Page title'">?</a></span>
So for question-mark links the class "newlinkedge" was defined as visible
and "newlink" defined to inherit surrounding color/style instead of
looking linking; while for red links the class "newlinkedge" was defined
as invisible and "newlink" as red underlined.
The only change is in the stylesheet, which is generated or selected
depending on user options (with the behavior change that the titles of
question-mark links can be clicked; a behavior whose loss was bemoaned by
some when we switched to phase 3.)
There are of course other options that affect content, particularly the
TeX-related selections.
