(Not that everyone follows standards anyway!) As a person with low vision, I find it helpful to know what standard is being used on any one site to indicate links -- the confusion arises when a designer sometimes uses underscores, sometimes uses specific colors, or fonts, or graphics. Maybe that's just a matter of poor design, making it difficult for any user to navigate, not a disability-related issue.
