Highlight the link in use

(credits to @ericprud for the idea)

Today, we have several links in the metadata headers of each spec. When a reader opens a document which isn't outdated, it's not clear to the reader if they're looking at a dated link, a latest version link, etc. It could be helpful to highlight, using JS, which link is currently displayed to the user. So that it comes more obvious to them.

Now that the latest version link can point to a different document than the dated link mentioned in the document, marking the "current link" can, indeed, be useful. Highlighting the link or adding a logo next to it can be an option.

Sounds helpful. Be nice to see a rough prototype and we could go from there.

Be nice to be able to use https://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-4/#the-local-link-pseudo :)

This didn't make the cut for P2021 but could still be used independently.
