 Accessibility scanning tools are pointing out that the links on a vanilla
 WordPress installation's wp-login screen are not identifiable. They are
 text-colored and the default text-underline has been nulled:


 {{{
 .login #nav a, .login #backtoblog a {
     text-decoration: none;
     color: #50575e;
 }
 }}}

 On WP.org, specific login styles have been added to address this
 accessibility concern:


 {{{
     text-decoration: underline !important;
 }}}

 I propose that the property `text-decoration: none;` simply be removed
 from `login.css` for improved accessibility standards compliance.

 Thanks!
