We cannot know whether <a> elements have borders by default; it's up to
browsers (and user style sheet). I think some version of Opera had default
borders for links. Then again, I don't see the point of trying to remove
such borders if they exist; I'd expect them to exist for a reason, or by
user's choice.

The selector "a" covers that, too, though with a lower specificity.
