Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-decor] Limits on text-underline-offset to preserve semantic meaning (#4059)

Having some kind of limit to prevent authors from mis-using underlines (overlines, sidelines, and such) sounds like a good idea to me. I feel strongly that whatever the limits are, we get interop on them (through the spec), so that Authors don't invent new hacks around this space — using the new powers we are adding to underline (et al) (thickness, placement, color, kind, etc) — that don't work the same in every browser. 

Here's a drawing of different underline results that Authors might want to use, none of which cause a misunderstanding of strikethrough. Might be helpful for discussion. I'm seeing a _lot_ of designs lately that use something like v4 to style underlines. File under Hot Trends of 2019.
