Update UA stylesheet rules to use :any-link instead of :visited or :link

[Ahmad-S792]

Hi Team,

This is mirror reference to issue raised in HTML Standard: whatwg/html#10133 , where it is proposed to align all standards with current at least two browsers implementation (Chrome & Safari) to start leveraging :any-link:

Currently, the UA stylesheet rules in SVG2 Spec [1] show:

:link, :visited {
  cursor: pointer;
}

While Chrome has it as:

a:-webkit-any-link

In Safari as part of PR: WebKit/WebKit#24154, I was trying to use same as web-spec but later it was suggested that it would be better to align all HTML & SVG to have :any-link.

I am raising this to align this across the board.

Thanks!

@heycam - Any guidance, who can comment and share input on this? Sorry - first time in SVGWG world.

The SVG2 spec has a reference to the CSS2 recommendation. If it were to use more recent CSS features like the :any-link selector, there should be a reference to the corresponding CSS specification. This means that SVG2 support would mandate support for CSS Selectors level 4 (which is a WD, at the moment).
