OK but that switches off *all* text decoration in *all* paragraphs. If
that is the only way to overide a nameless ad-hoc formatting instruction
then sure it is better than switching style sheets off altogether but
still has some side effects. Wheras if that underlining had been
applied via class, id or the proposed named style, it could be over-ridden
without altering anything else.
That was what I meant by "influence the presentation of *an* un-named ..."
