Comment (by afercia):

 Re: links focus style:

 > Thanks for the link — I'd forgotten about that ticket. As long as we
 have a visible focus state in here in general, I'd be happy to postpone
 major changes and work on them in the context of that ticket instead.
 > Using box-shadow (along with the transparent outline fallback for high-
 contrast mode) sounds fine to me too. I'm not sure I have time to rewrite
 that patch at the moment, but if someone else is up for taking it on, that
 would be excellent.

 [attachment:"34904.16.diff"] restores the previous focus style for links,
 based on `box-shadow` and removes the new `outline: 1px dotted #555d66;`.
 A new focus style for links needs more exploration as the new dotted
 outline is noticeably lighter than the previous style thus not quite ready
 to guarantee a good indication of focus.

 Partially reverts [46241] and [46293] (see #47153).
