I would like to amend this. Add a third attribute, text style. What is
the point of having a link if the reader can't see that a link exists.
That is why the default for the web is underlined with a different
color. That way the reader knows that "Hey, that's a link. If I click on
it I will go somewhere else, hopefully in context with what the funny
formatted text reads." The default text style should the the same blue,
underlined text that is commonly recognized as a link. But the reason
why I suggest a text style is so the author can choose to point it to
another pre-existing text style or change the default link text style to
match the document's style guide.
