I'd be more surprised if it wasn't done intentionally; web designers use this
technique all the time, claiming it adds a more consitent color scheme / look
to the website. Usability analysts will tell you that anything you think you
gain in asthetics is lost in breaking the standard color conventions people
are used to. The above patch sets visited links as a darker/paler blue; if we
are going to change it I'd suggest going with the standard purple color (or
something very similar).
