What you (LDA) want sounds very unnatural. Personally, the only time I ever
make visited *at all different* is where it is likely to help - especially
because it makes things look more jangly for no good reason. Mostly it is
unlikely. In one site I have a large menu at the top of a page that refer to
short abstracts of papers below. Here is a situation where a user might well
browse and want to tick off what has been visited, so I made visited
different.
You can do what you propose but at great trouble, you would need to make all
the necessary combinations of near identical html pages and think it all
through. (this would not be for browser back button use). I would rather
die.
Why not be a bit spooky, make visited same colour as background. This would
be tidy even if a bit gapy - links would sort of be there on hover... a
shiver is a runnin' down ma spine right now...
