How about blue text only via a mouseover [I know it's hard to add for
Netscape]? For long table of contents is it better to have the jarring all
blue-linked text or make the link color the default text color?

See for example http://www.academicinfo.net/table.html or even the
University of Washington's library catalog main page at
http://catalog.lib.washington.edu/search .

I'm responsible for the design of the Univ. of Washington's Law Library
catalog at http://marian.law.washington.edu/ and I'd love to get rid of all
the blue text.

Thanks,
