I have to agree with David on this one; the traditional colouring and underlining of links says to me "this is a link". For those who can see and differentiate colours, I feel this to be an important cue and that displaying them otherwise could be highly confusing for some. The less said about the use of underlining as a means of emphasis in (X)HTML text, the better. (I have even seen heading elements inside text anchors before - looks like a link but the only action is "confuse user".)
