Well, those come straight from the w3c css2 spec. See section 
5.11.2 at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html#q15.

At any rate,  I got it working now.  Here is the code:

     a { text-decoration : none; }
     a.links1:link { color: white;
     		     background-color: #6b798c }
     a.links1:visited { color: aqua;
     		        background-color: #6b798c }
     a.links1:hover { color: yellow;
     		     background-color: #6b798c }
     a.links1:active { color: lime;
     		      background-color: #6b798c }
     a.links2:link { color: black;
     		     background-color: #fff }
     a.links2:visited { color: black;
     		        background-color: #fff }
     a.links2:hover { color: maroon;
     		     background-color: #fff }
     a.links2:active { color: lime;
     		      background-color: #fff }

    p *[href]	{ color: black;
		  background-color: white;
		  text-decoration: underline; }

I've run my style sheet through the w3c css validator and it
validates properly.
Thanks for the tips, glad to see the list managers got my other
subscription (from my work email) working properly, thanks.
