I can't explain why this happens. I'd speculate it's because the
docuemnt is actually treated as SGML, rather than XML. Try renaming the
file with a .xml extension and retesting in (without the SGML comment
around your CSS). It then works as expected, for me, in Firefox.
Anyway, CSS defines a hack to differentiate the two uses of <a>. Make
use of the :link pseudo class,
a:link { color: red; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; letter-spacing: 0em }
a:link:hover { color: red; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0.5em }
