/* Webkit Triple Stroke & Blendmode, no JS & SVG
v0.1 17.09.15, only working in webkit-browsers, tested in chrome 45.0 & Opera 29

A filling fullscreen link with stroke and blendmode; faux bold is giving it a triple stroke from a larger viewport upwards (not sure if bug or feature).
The missing blend-mode when the click animation is fired also seems like a chrome bug, opera gets it done correctly.
The filling effect is provided by the line-height setting, this is not working in Opera.
