I think the new color scheme is the best I've seen -- I'd ship it.  We should
leave the underlines -- I agree with the comment that the color by itself is
too subtle.    I could go either way on the disappering behavior.  The nice
part is that it gives feedback that you are over the link.  But no big deal
either way.

Thx Beth for jumping in with some fresh ideas -- and of course thx to Rene for
 all the prior work...
