RE: [css3-text] Underlines match the color of the text (was Allow control of text-decoration width

I understand there's a compatibility issue. But if matching underline colors to the color of text is oftentimes desired behavior, we could add another value to avoid compatibility issues like this:

  text-decoration-color: textColor

I'm not sure if it's important enough to justify the cost, but both Word and In Design behaving so makes me believe it is more common than CSS 2.1 way.

Is this wrong, or not too important given its cost?

The color behavior of underlines in CSS is not really up for discussion. This is clearly specified in CSS2.1. And I object to making style behave differently.
