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

I agree that we shouldn't limit the placement. @jensimmons examples show legitimate design use cases. There are indeed many other ways people can use CSS in ways that don't make sense. This one is purely presentational. In some cases I would agree that a background gradient would be a better option, but as @AmeliaBR points out, the actual text decoration would still be preserved for screen readers and more limited CSS implementations. So it would still work as it should. I don't think it should be clamped.

Once more browsers are implementing this, I'd certainly hope that more the text-decoration spec would be implemented in Safari as well (instead of being a 'similar but not quite the same' behavior it is now with ink skipping)
