To be fair to the Haddock designer, red links are common these days.

Here's two examples (among many):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/
http://www.slate.com/

In the second case the site uses blue, black *and* red links to
distinguish different types of content. They are all in bold and
underline when hovered over so are not hard to distinguish from
ordinary text.
