Comment (by usability.idealist):

 Replying to [comment:32 Michael Arestad]:
 > Quick note, we can add visual borders without influencing the box
 parameters (padding, margin, border). Using pseudo elements, box-shadows,
 or other techniques we can avoid forcing a line-break.

 eg. like :after and :before, combined with :content? Gonna try it now.

 Thou I still don't understand what exactly is speaking against using
 {{{
 :focus { ... text-decoration: underline; }
 }}}

 Seems to be a pretty straigh-forward and working solution to me. Esp.
 because nobody else aside the keyboard users is going to see (or need) it.

 cu, w0lf.
