How do folks feel about links not being underlined but instead being in inverted colors? (that is, if the page is a "light mode" black text on white background, links are white text on black background)?

@noracodes if it’s a longer document, it might be worth putting a “links look like this:” somewhere visible near the start of the page

generally the concerns are (1) visual distinctiveness of links (you have that covered), (2) ability to intuit that a given style implies a link (not obvious without knowing to try hovering one’s mouse over it, but fixable by stating as much somewhere on the page), and (3) cognitive load of remembering what links look like on this page versus any other page (always in conflict with any customization; able to be mitigated on the user end with things like reader view)
