I'm not exactly sure, but there are many reasons that <u> has not been included. * Lack of use cases for it. * Widely considered to be presentational, not semantic. * Redundant, use CSS instead (or <ins>, if the underline is for indicating inserted text). * Was already deprecated in HTML4. But if some people want it included, we should focus on finding reasons why it should be included, rather than why it currently hasn't been included. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
