In my exprimental www/ tree, I have done it like this:

h1, h2, h3 {
  color: #990000;
  margin-bottom: 0.01em;
}
h2 A:visited, h2 A:link {
  color: #990000;
}

Well, and a lot more, but I also agree that CSS is the way.  I don't
really think there is any reason to care about non CSS browsers, wrt.
to layout / colors etc. if it's just still possible to see the
content.
