today i met the designer of the first site and the colour issue came 
up.  he points out that it is designed to be simple black text on a 
white background.  i tried Firefox, and verily i see simple black on 
white.  i checked with Fresco, and it too shows black on white.

so why is Netsurf (r6761 and 6288 before) showing unreadable blue on 
black?

the second site is by Michael Drake.  Netsurf shows his links as 
unreadable blue on black, whereas Firefox shows them underlined white 
on black.
