A quick (unrepresentative!) survey showed that underlined blue is  
the favorite rendering, with only the cursor change on mouse- 
over.

The trend seems to be toward less...perhaps Balsa should go stay  
with plain blue, not underlined, and only the cursor change on  
mouse-over?  Adapt the blue to inverse themes as MiÅŸu suggests,  
and make the whole thing non-configurable?
