Description

According to 4a4b81cf51524b5f74a877e8e7ce66881b5ac383, "the 'border-color' sub-properties" are allowed in :visited. This seems to refer to border-top-color, border-right-color, border-bottom-color and border-left-color.

But what about the flow-relative border-block-start-color, border-block-end-color, border-inline-start-color and border-inline-end-color?

They are basically the same, so I guess they should also be allowed, but since this kind of things are delicate due to privacy concerns, I want a confirmation.

Research direction

Review commit 4a4b81cf51524b5f74a877e8e7ce66881b5ac383 and the existing :visited allowance for border-color sub-properties. Compare the four flow-relative border-color properties with the physical properties, accounting for the stated privacy concerns; done means the issue has a confirmed resolution and the specification text reflects it if needed.
